Hanbury CofE First School

Neal R Shipley & Co Ltd were appointed by Worcestershire County Council to enable Hanbury CE First School to embark on a construction project to enhance their existing facilities and improve the overall functionality of the school. The project involved the construction of separate front entrance and classroom extensions, the integration of a new school office, and adaptations to existing classrooms to enable integration. The construction had to be carried out within a live school environment, posing additional challenges.

The objective of the project was to create a more efficient and accessible layout for Hanbury CE First School. The project aimed to improve the overall flow and functionality of the school, creating a more conducive learning environment for students and staff.

The primary challenge faced during the construction process was the need to work within a live school environment. It was crucial to ensure the safety of the students and staff while minimizing disruptions to their daily routines. Additionally, the construction had to be carried out at opposite ends of the school, posing logistical challenges for the construction team. The external works required careful planning to create a better and more open solution for the school entrance and circulation.

Strict safety protocols were implemented and coordinated closely with the school administration. This ensured the safety of the students and staff, allowing them to continue their activities without any interruptions. The team also carefully scheduled construction activities to minimize disruptions and noise during school hours.

The successful completion of the project resulted in significant improvements to Hanbury CE First School. The separate front entrance and classroom extensions provided additional space and improved accessibility for students and staff. The integration of a new school office enhanced administrative efficiency, while the adaptations to existing classrooms enabled better integration and utilization of space. The external works created a more welcoming and open solution for the school entrance and circulation, improving the overall aesthetics and functionality of the school.
