The McAvoy Group<\/a> is delivering three new educational facilities valued at \u00a340m, on behalf of the Department for Education<\/a> (DfE)<\/h2>\n

The latest projects are The Cavendish School in Cambridgeshire, Merstham Park Secondary School near Reigate, and Laureate Academy in Hemel Hempstead.<\/p>\n

The Cavendish School will be a specialist school for children with autism, the \u2018world\u2019s first\u2019 International Baccalaureate (IB) special autism school. The school will have a range of new facilities, including multi-functional learning areas, calm and sensory spaces, and a horticultural room.<\/p>\n

The Merstham Park School will see long-standing temporary facilities replaced by a brand-new building, designed to be one of the DfE\u2019s first pioneering low-carbon<\/a> pathfinder projects.<\/p>\n

Additionally, at Laureate Academy an outdated teaching block has been demolished, and a new building created, along with a new multi-use games area.<\/p>\n

These projects will be delivered following a productive 12 months for offsite manufacturing specialists. Despite the challenges of Covid-19<\/a>, the business has invested heavily in strengthening its senior management team and building for the future.<\/p>\n

\u2018Delivered quickly and efficiently to the highest standard\u2019<\/h3>\n

Ron Clarke, CEO of The McAvoy Group, said: \u201cOur primary objective at The McAvoy Group is to deliver an exceptional experience for every customer through the quality of service we provide. We\u2019re delighted to have been entrusted with the delivery of these latest contracts by the DfE.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the huge disruption to education during the pandemic, it\u2019s more important than ever for new school buildings to be delivered quickly and efficiently on programme and to the highest standard.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe look forward to working with the DfE, local councils and other partners to deliver these new school places in well-designed, high-quality buildings that are fit for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n

The announcement comes as the business retained a place on the latest iteration of the DfE\u2019s \u00a37bn four-year Construction Framework for the delivery of school buildings in England.<\/p>\n
