Willmott
Dixon has been awarded the contract by Kent County Council through the Scape
Major Works Framework to create a new home for Trinity School on the site of Wilderness
School. When complete in September 2016, the new building will accommodate 600 pupils
between 11 to 16 years, plus a further 190 pupils at sixth form. Temporary
accommodation is being provided on the new site for one year until the facility
is complete.
The
company is also active near Sevenoaks train station, where its Prime Place development
business is converting former office space at Tubbs Hill House into 88 residential
apartments. It’s the latest in a series
of projects Willmott Dixon has delivered in Sevenoaks in recent years.
Roger
Forsdyke, managing director for Willmott Dixon in the Southern Counties:
“Trinity
will be another excellent learning environment for Sevenoaks and further
extends our track-record for creating new facilities that will benefit future
generations in the town. We’re also keen to support the local pound and will
continue using local companies where possible.”
Trinity
School is a state-funded Christian secondary free school established under the
government’s free school initiative that opened in September 2013. The scope of
work to create a new home for Trinity on Seal Hollow Road includes new car
parking including bus drop off, hard and soft landscaping, and all weather
sports surfaces.
