Two of these building projects, the new Abraham Guest High School and new primary schools for Leigh Central and Leigh Sacred Heart primary schools have come about from funds released early from the governments BSF and Primary Capital programmes to undertake the Pathfinder Projects.
The third building project underway is the rebuilding of Beech Hill Primary School as part of the Primary Capital Programme.
Details and progress of these building projects can be found below.
Pathfinder Project
Abraham Guest High School
The new Abraham Guest high school co-located on the Lamberhead Green primary school site is a state-of-the-art high school to house 1025 pupils. The building has been designed to offer the best learning environment for young people and to offer other community facilities such as a public library and sports facilities for the wider community.
The building project commenced in June 2008 and is scheduled to be completed in 2010. Pictures of current progress and artists impressions of the finished building will be added when available.
Leigh Central & Leigh Sacred Heart Primary Schools
The primary pathfinder project in Leigh is to rebuild Leigh Central and Leigh Sacred Heart Primary Schools. The new schools are located on the current adjacent school sites and will be built to an innovative design which allows both schools to retain their individual characters whilst sharing some facilities.
The current building project started in July 2008 and is currently mid way through the building programme with the schools scheduled to be completed by November 2009. Pictures of current progress and artists impressions of the finished building will be added when available.
Primary Capital Programme
Beech Hill Primary School
Beech Hill Primary School is due to be rebuilt on its existing site as part of the Primary Capital Programme. The new school will be rebuilt as a 1 form entry primary school catering for 210 pupils. Works on the new building are scheduled to be started in January 2010 and completed by summer 2011. The new school will offer and improved learning environment for pupils and better facilities for the community.
Plans and progress pictures of the new school will be added when available.
