Collinson Construction<\/a> has commenced eight months of work on the project that will deliver a new sports hall and outdoor courts at St John\u2019s Marlborough<\/h2>\n

The completed scheme will be used by students and staff, as well as the local community, and will result in a range of high-specification indoor and outdoor sports facilities<\/a>, including a four-court sports hall, two external multi-use courts, and landscaped areas for student recreation.<\/p>\n

Representatives of the firm were joined by the Mayor of Marlborough Mark Cooper, along with St John\u2019s principal Ian Tucker, St John\u2019s chair of governors Caroline Thomas, and the chair of the St Johns Foundation Trust Steve Tapper to mark the commencement of the initial groundwork.<\/p>\n

Improving the quality of education<\/h3>\n

St Johns Principal, Ian Tucker said: \u201cThese new facilities will provide exciting opportunities for our students, enabling them to fully participate in sport and other activities all year round, regardless of the weather.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a high-quality development which also improves the range of options that are available for use by the wider community in Marlborough.<\/p>\n

“I am looking forward to being able to open these facilities next year, and to further improving the quality of education we offer our students, as well as the wider local community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robert Duxbury, managing director at Collinson Construction, added: \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly proud to be partnering with St John\u2019s and using our traditional building expertise<\/a> to deliver this state-of-the-art sports facility for the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re pleased to have come on board and helped secure planning permission for the scheme, which had been denied twice prior to our involvement, and are looking forward to bringing it to life alongside our partners Edmond Shipway and NVB Architects.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe new sports hall will not only help the school meet its vision of encouraging students to have ambition to be successful through opportunities in sport, but will benefit the local community too.\u201d<\/p>\n

The development is due to be completed in March 2022.<\/p>\n
