Midlands contractor completes £7m primary school
Midlands-based G F Tomlinson completed the construction works for Anna Seward primary school using the constructing West Midlands (CWM) framework.
The £7m two-storey school will begin by admitting nursery and reception students, gradually increasing its capacity each year to ultimately accommodate 210 school pupils and 26 nursery places.
Anna Seward primary school becomes part of the Arthur Terry Learning Partnership (ATLP), which operates six other schools in Lichfield.
An opening ceremony is planned for September 2023, coinciding with the new school term.
Jonathan Price, Staffordshire County Council’s cabinet member for education, said: “Anna Seward Primary has been built in response to local housing developments, which have increased demand for school places in the Lichfield area.
“It has been great to see the school constructed over the past few months and, although the school summer holidays are currently in full swing, I’m sure many parents and pupils will be looking forward to starting their education in a brand-new school come September.”
This marks G F Tomlinson’s sixth collaboration with Staffordshire County Council, including projects like the recent Bramshall Meadows first school in Uttoxeter and Fradley Park primary school in Lichfield last summer.
