Willmott Dixon delivery director Nick Heath said: “We’re pleased to have broken ground on our fourth SEND school project for Lincolnshire County Council. The scheme is very important in meeting the needs of all young children in the area and they can be certain that we are committed to delivering a design that facilitates the best education for every pupil.

“As with all our projects, sustainability for people and the environment is a major focus. Our ‘Now or Never’ strategy guides everything we are doing to ensure a greener future and outlines how by 2030 all our new buildings will achieve net-zero operational carbon. At The Priory, we are installing electric vehicle charging stations for onsite teams to travel sustainably.”

Work on the extension and refurbishment project is targeted to complete by 1 September 2022.

Willoughby School in Bourne, Eresby School in Spilsby and St Bernards school in Louth are the three other projects that were recently completed and delivered by Willmott Dixon.
