Willmott Dixon<\/a> has secured an \u00a38.35m contract from Hampshire County Council to build Barton Farm Academy, the town\u2019s first primary academy school<\/h2>\n

Willmott Dixon recently started on site with the new Winchester Sport and Leisure Park to replace the River Park Leisure Centre. It now adds to that presence in the town with its role to build the 420 place Barton Farm Academy for children aged 4-11 at the Kings Barton housing development site.<\/p>\n

The single storey two-form entry school features a main hall, holistic music and drama studio, \u2018discovery point\u2019 library, staff room and workspace, administration offices and parent waiting rooms. The decision to have the school was in response to 2,000 new homes being built on the Barton Farm site so creating a need for further school places. The school will target a BREEAM Excellent<\/a> energy efficiency rating to provide a sustainable learning environment when it opens in September 2020.<\/p>\n

The academy sponsor is the University of Winchester and Professor Joy Carter CBE, DL, Vice-Chancellor of the University and Chair of the University of Winchester Academy Trust, which will run the school, said: \u201cThe University is an outstanding provider of teacher education and has a strong track record of raising aspiration among young people.<\/p>\n

\u201cPupils at the school will benefit from our values-driven ethos, extensive regional school partnerships, our evidence-based learning and teaching, our powerful links with local business and community organisations, and our passionate commitment to social justice and sustainability. The innovative Academy buildings, including state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor learning environments, will also meet our very high standards for sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nicola Wells, head teacher designate of the new school said: \u201cI am thrilled to be at the groundbreaking ceremony as the first custodian of this beautiful, state of the art setting.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have designed a curriculum to take full advantage of our extensive indoor and outdoor spaces and, as the first head teacher of the Academy, it is my aim to provide an inspirational and joyful primary school experience for all of our pupils.\u201d<\/p>\n

Barton Farm Academy has been designed by Hampshire County Council\u2019s<\/a> in-house team of architects and landscape designers and meets the highest standards for environmental sustainability and will provide inspiring and creative learning spaces for children to flourish.<\/p>\n

Richard Poulter, managing director of Willmott Dixon in the Central South added: \u201cWillmott Dixon is delighted to be involved in this project. The new school will provide much-needed inspirational learning spaces.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always delighted to play a part in supporting the learning of the next generation. As will all our projects we aim to leave a positive legacy in the local community and are targeting 140 apprenticeship weeks on the project.\u201d<\/p>\n
