Kier<\/a> has been appointed by the Department of Education<\/a> to deliver two new blocks for The Saint John Henry Newman Catholic School in Stevenage, totalling 5,286m2, as well as extensive landscaping works<\/h2>\n

The Stevenage school project will consist of constructing two new buildings to accommodate teaching spaces, administration facilities, a new dining area and a new main hall.<\/p>\n

The project will involve some minor refurbishment and extensive landscaping<\/a> to provide attractive, outdoor spaces following the demolition.<\/p>\n

These will replace much of the older facilities on site which will be demolished following occupation of the new buildings.<\/p>\n

Also, the former school of British Racing Driver Lewis Hamilton, the new scheme is due to begin on site in summer 2021 and complete at the end of 2023.<\/p>\n

The Saint John Henry Newman Catholic School is the latest appointment for Kier<\/a> on the Department for Education Construction Framework<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Currently on site is a new replacement 420 pupil primary school at St Joseph\u2019s Catholic School in Bishops Stortford, due to complete in Summer 2021.<\/p>\n

A huge benefit for the school<\/h3>\n

Mark Dady, managing director at Kier Regional Building Eastern, said: \u201cWe\u2019re extremely pleased to have been selected to deliver this scheme for The Saint John Henry Newman Catholic School.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction of two new, state of the art blocks will greatly benefit the existing and future pupils coming through, and we look forward to working closely with the school on this project.\u201d<\/p>\n

Clive Mathew, headteacher of the school, added: \u201cWe are very pleased to see the start date for our new buildings programme arrive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have been very impressed with the plans that Kier have developed over the past year and we are very much looking forward to working with them over the coming two years. A very exciting time for us all.\u201d<\/p>\n
