Bristol-based Integral Build has gone back to the classroom to complete the next stage of The Red Maids’ School refurbishment and expansion plans.
The oldest independent girls’ school in the country is now creating two new classrooms in its Junior School ready for the new academic year in September.
This is in response to high levels of demand for places and will result in an increase to two classes each in Years 3 and 4, bringing the total number of pupils to 150.
The project follows on the heels of the recently-completed £1.8m refurbishment by Integral Build of the school’s main building, creating contemporary facilities for students, teachers and visitors within the original Edwardian complex.
Headteacher Lisa Brown said: “The Red Maids’ Junior School is a very exciting, stimulating place to learn and I am delighted to be able to share our success with even more girls and their families.
“This ongoing investment is a commitment to ensuring all our facilities are the best they can be to benefit our students in their academic and personal development.”
Integral Build divisional director Tim Stringer added: “We were delighted to remain on site for this second project, having got to know the school and its staff well during the main school refurbishment.
“While this second stage is very much more straightforward, we still have to ensure that it is business as usual for the current Junior School pupils and staff and create as little disruption as possible.”
The project is due to be completed in early summer 2015.
