The first phase of construction of Broomhill Junior School in Nottingham has been completed by Tilbury Douglas on behalf of the Department for Education
The first phase of the Broomhill Junior School rebuild delivered a new two-storey junior school, built with a steel frame and designed to DfE Specification 21 requirements.
Through the Department for Education’s school rebuilding programme, the project aims to provide modern, safe, and versatile learning spaces for the school’s 272 pupils aged 7 to eleven.
Chris Loach, regional director – East Midlands at Tilbury Douglas, commented: “We are proud to have delivered the first phase of this modern new school for the Department for Education and the Hucknall community.
“The project required careful planning and close collaboration to manage the construction works while maintaining safe access and facilities for the school.”
The existing building will be demolished to create more open space
The Broomhill Junior School rebuild project is worth £10m and will replace the original 1966 school building.
Once the new two-storey building is complete, the existing structure will be demolished to create additional open areas.
New SEN corridor is a key aspect of the rebuild
The Broomhill Junior School rebuild aims to deliver a contemporary, future-proof school with expanded play spaces, outdoor teaching zones, and improved specialist facilities.
A key design feature is a dedicated ground-floor Special Educational Needs (SEN) corridor, supporting an anticipated increase in SEN pupils from 58 to 70.
The new building will provide a more inclusive, accessible, and inspiring environment for both learners and staff.
The next phase of the Broomhill Junior School rebuild
The next phase of the project includes creating a permanent multi-use games area (MUGA) and new landscaping.
“The completed building will provide pupils and staff with a high-quality learning environment that will support the community for many years to come,” Loach concluded.
