Free Schools

Free Schools are all-ability state-funded schools set up in response to parental demand. Under the new proposals it will become much easier for charities, universities, businesses, educational groups, teachers and groups of parents to get involved and start new schools. The Academies Bill, which paves the way for these changes, is currently being debated in the House of Commons and a decision is expected after the summer recess of 2010.

Our vast experience with delivering schools allows us to provide tried and tested advice to this emerging market and through collaboration with our joint venture Place Group we are able to offer a diverse and comprehensive service offer including:

  • Education and curriculum advice
  • Staff recruitment and TUPE transfer
  • Feasibility studies including the search and identification of potential sites from schools, existing site development proposals and concept feasibility analyses
  • Suitability, sufficiency and stock condition audits on existing buildings
  • Design procurement and delivery of building works, operation and maintenance programme planning
  • Multi-disciplinary design services
  • Project and programme management
  • Planning submission and applications, including change of use
  • Construction
  • Construction and Design Management Coordination (CDM-C)
  • Cost and financial management
