Valued at £5.3m, the first contract will see Dean Row Centre being transformed into a SEND school for pupils with special needs and will accommodate 80 children and young people from four to 19 years old.
The £1.4m Wilmslow High School extension project will allow the school to accommodate 1,500 to 1,800 more students. The project is already being delivered on-site by Conlon, and is expected to be completed in time for the upcoming academic year (around September).
This extension will also increase the school’s capacity from a 12 to 14-form entry by adding a single-storied expansion to the main building, interior renovation, and an additional extension connecting the Olympic Hall and Sports Hall buildings.
Conlon is also providing pre-construction services for Kingsley Fields primary school. The single-form entry primary school is located within a 1,100-home development at Kingsley Fields.
