Interserve Construction<\/a> has been named preferred bidder by the Department for Education<\/a> to design and build the new Saddleworth School in Oldham worth \u00a325m<\/h2>\n

The contract win by Interserve Construction is the fourth new school project secured by the company this year after being named preferred bidder for three new schools in the West Midlands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The existing school has been identified as not fit for purpose. The new school will be designed to accommodate the growing needs of both pupils and the local community and it will be tailored to meeting and exceeding the needs of modern school education provision.<\/p>\n

Construction plan<\/h3>\n

Interserve Construction will be responsible for the construction of the new school offering an additional 150 new school places. When complete, the new Saddleworth School will accommodate up to 1,500 students aged 11 to 16.<\/p>\n

Councillor Shaid Mushtaq, cabinet member for education and skills at Oldham Council, said: \u201cMaking sure every one of our children gets a good education is and always has been, a priority for us.<\/p>\n

“Being taught in the best facilities is a big part of that \u2013 we will continue to work with the Department for Education to deliver a new school for our children as they deserve the best surrounding to learn in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Phil Shaw, regional director at Interserve Construction, said: \u201cOur appointment by the Education & Skills Funding Agency to build the new Saddleworth School further strengthens our position as one of the leading construction companies serving the UK education sector and follows the team\u2019s recent appointment to build the special needs Halcyon Way and Prospect House schools, also in Oldham.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Delivering first-class educational facilities<\/h3>\n

Interserve Construction\u2019s appointment underscores the company\u2019s experience and capabilities in delivering first-class educational facilities in the UK in line with its strategy for securing places on major framework agreements and contracts with the long-term partners including the Department for Education.<\/p>\n
