Kier site team hand over £35m high school in Cheltenham

Keir have handed over The High School Leckhampton to Gloucestershire County Council. 

The £35m secondary school has state-of-the-art facilities, including six science labs, 10 ICT suites, a music suite, drama studio and a 400-seat auditorium. Its sports facilities include a full-size, floodlit Astro-turf pitch, grass playing fields, sports hall, fitness suite and six outdoor tennis tables.

 The school will create its own green energy using solar panels and be carbon neutral, in line with the council’s pledge of reducing carbon emissions by 80% by 2030 and be carbon neutral by 2050.

It has been environmentally designed with tree and hedgerow planting on the school grounds and in nearby fields, with a long-term commitment made to manage those local habitats for the benefit of wildlife.

“We are very excited to be moving into our wonderful new building. It’s a privilege to be here and the building is just perfect.

We’ve got some brilliant students, amazing staff and I can’t wait. The new school is genuinely incredible.

We feel hugely privileged to establish our brand-new school in such an impressive environment and know that our wonderful pupils will make the most of their marvellous facilities.”
