Morgan Sindall Construction has been selected to rebuild the existing school buildings at Riverside Primary School in Seacombe, Wirral, UK.

The school serves 210 pupils aged 4-11, with 34 nursery places for children aged 2-4.

Furthermore, Wirral Council is funding 16 more places for students with social, emotional, and mental health needs.

Appointed through the UK Department for Education’s (DfE) construction framework, Riverside is one of 518 projects under the wider School Rebuilding Programme. It marks Morgan Sindall’s 46th DfE framework project and the sixth in the North West England region.

The two existing buildings at the school will be demolished and replaced with a single, two-storey building. To facilitate the delivery of the project, temporary accommodation will be provided throughout the construction period.

The new building will feature an energy-efficient design, meeting sustainability standards and operating at net zero.

Morgan Sindall Construction North West area director Steven Gregory said: “We are delighted to be involved with the design and delivery of a new primary school for the Seacombe community. Creating state-of-the-art facilities like this help to give children the best start in life, and we are pleased to be playing our part.

“By working closely with Wirral Council, the Department for Education, and their advisors, we will deliver a new school tailored to pupils’ needs, helping them achieve their full potential.”

Morgan Sindall says it has collaborated with key stakeholders through client engagement meetings to develop the school’s design, ensuring it meets the DfE’s framework requirements.
