Krol Corlett were engaged by Cottam Primary School following a Basic Need expansion scoping exercise in 2022. The scoping exercise consulted every primary school in Preston West, Preston North and Preston Rural planning areas, with appraisal processes carried out to consider proposals from schools interested in expanding.
It was concluded Cottam Primary School offered the most appropriate location along wiht a site large enough to accommodate the expansion.
Krol Corlett has enabled the School to increase the intake ability of Year 3 and Year 4 students and provided a brighter and more vibrant teaching facility.
John Brogden – Lancashire City Council:
“Krol Corlett will continue to work with Lancashire City Council as a partner and have fully taken on board LCC`s way of working.”
Krol Corlett remodelled existing classrooms and corridors as well as an external teaching canopy, while the staff room facilities were also improved. New external doors and windows were also installed alongside internal partitions and screens. Drainage improvements were made and new fire doors fitted.
Craig Ward, Regional Manager at Krol Corlett Construction:
“We have now completed Phases 1 & 2 and have been appointed for Phase 3 – It has been an exciting and reward scheme being involved with the staff at Cottam Primary to see their school modernised and updated to allow further intake of children and we look forward to working with them in the future to realise their expansion plans.”
Krol Corlett is proud to have helped Cottam Primary School expand their intake and improve learning facilities for young people in the region.
With brand-new internal and external facilities such as partitions and fire doors also installed, we have also made the school a safer and more accessible place to learn.
The build continued our commitment to working with education facilities to the highest standard. The project completed after other highly successful projects at Flakefleet Primary School, University of Liverpool, the University of Salford and the University of Manchester.
Our client feedback survey has been returned with the highest possible scores throughout Quality, Service, Environmental, Social factors and overall Performance. With the final Question – would you partner with Krol Corlett again? And the responses, ‘YES DEFINITELY’!
