More than 300 extra school spaces across Nottinghamshire have been created this year, to meet the ever-growing demand of extra school places in the region.

South Wilford Primary School, Flintham Primary School in Newark and Butlers Hill Infant and Nursery School and Broomhill Junior School in Hucknall have all undergone more than £2.5m worth of expansion work through local contractor, Ashe Construction.

Working in partnership with the East Midlands Property Alliance (empa), each project was completed on time and included ten new classrooms, play areas and a car park.

Sheridan McKnight, partnerships director at Ashe Construction is delighted with all the finished projects. He said:

“While each school had been working effectively, high demand for extra places in Nottinghamshire meant that they were starting to outgrow their capacity. As a result, there was a big requirement for new classrooms and spaces.

“Everyone at Ashe Construction has worked hard over the past year to ensure each project was delivered on time and budget and to the highest standard.

 “We are delighted that the staff, parents and children are pleased with the finished projects. The completed expansions mean that students and staff will be able to enjoy their greatly improved school surroundings while having even more space to learn.

“Ashe Construction will be continuing its work with other schools in Nottinghamshire over the next 12 months, to help provide even more school places and meet the needs of the community.”

Working across Nottinghamshire and the East Midlands region, Ashe Construction has created 810 extra school places this year and is currently working towards creating an extra 680 places for the start of 2017.

Ashe Construction is an East Midlands Property Alliance (empa) framework partner. Managed by Scape Group and formed by local authorities, the empa framework aims to improve the delivery of construction projects and property maintenance for public sector bodies, saving them and the taxpayer money.
