The first week of back-to-school is near on complete for the children at St Edmund's School Canterbury, and they have been settling into the newly completed Phase II of the Academic Hub!
The steel structure frame mirrors the existing structure, once the superstructure was completed, we opened up the connection, forming a seamless integration of the two buildings into one cohesive space. The new extension offers 8 additional classrooms, a staff room, and a brand-new visitor entrance and reception area.
We've thoroughly enjoyed our time at St Edmund's School, engaging with students across all year groups, from Reception through to Sixth Form. Highlights of our collaboration include art competitions, career presentations, work experience opportunities, and supporting the school’s 275th anniversary show, which we proudly sponsored alongside Hazle McCormack Young LLP.
