North East Lincolnshire New School Builds in Waltham and Scartho

EQUANS Services Limited on behalf of North East Lincolnshire Council (the Authority) is seeking a suitably qualified principal contractor to undertake the design and construction of two new schools, with vehicular access located within North East Lincolnshire.

Each school will provide primary education for 210 place provision for pupils aged 4 to 11 years old (Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2), including separate SEN provision, and will be critical infrastructure assets to the local community and surrounding area, providing much needed localised primary school places. The schools will be located at Sunningdale in Waltham and Matthew Telford Park in Scartho.

The Authority have a statute duty to ensure the sufficient provision of school places to meet the needs of the borough. Due to recent and ongoing new local housing developments within the borough there will be a negative impact upon existing localised provision.

Scartho Top development is partially complete. Scartho village has two primary academy schools located within the area, Fairfield Academy and Springfield Primary Academy, and an Infants school, Scartho infants and nursery school. These schools are already at capacity. The proposed new school would alleviate pressure on the existing schools within the Village and serve the growing local community.

The Matthew Telford school site is a green field site off Matthew Telford Park which has been allocated for Education use since the commencement of construction of the surrounding estate.

The site is approximately 1.53 hectares in size and is bounded by open land, leading to housing development on Ryedale Way to the south, open land leading to a Care Home to the west, the Aldi's site off Matthew Telford Park to the north and public open space to the east, going on to additional housing development. As part of the supermarket development, the access drive to the new school has already been established.

The design and construction of proposed new primary school with vehicular access from Matthew Telford Way, Scartho, Grimsby will provide an additional 210 place provision for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 pupils, including SEN provision within the village of Scartho.

By actively targeting and supporting SEN pupils within their immediate locality it is hoped that with support they will gradually be able to continue their education journey within their mainstream provision.
