ABOUT THE PROJECT

A new teaching block for Oakfield

Oakfield Primary School is getting a new two-storey teaching block, with six classrooms, a library and a new entrance for pupils and parents.

The school stays open throughout the build. We've planned deliveries and noisy works around the school day, and the site is fully fenced off from the playground.
