It is the biggest school build ever under taken by Algeco UK, which was secured through the MMC Framework for the Department of Education (DfE). Northampton School will eventually accommodate a total of 1,200 boys and girls between the ages of 11 and 18 from across Northamptonshire. The buildings at the new Northampton School were created utilising modern methods of construction in a quality controlled off site environment, ensuring the highest standards of workmanship and Health and Safety. Algeco developed the project through a two-phase approach following the receipt of the DfE’s feasibility developing the design in collaboration with the school taken to site following completion. It meant the build was completed in half the three years a traditionally built structure takes to complete. A total of 210 modules were created at the company’s factory in Carnaby and transported by road to the Northampton site. The school is run by the Northampton School for Boys (NSB) Academy Trust. It is a state-of-the-art facility for the teaching of secondary school pupils with dedicated sports, drama, science and music rooms. Phil Pavey, Managing Director at Algeco Offsite Solutions (OSS), said: “This is one of the most exciting projects Algeco UK has worked on – planning and constructing a series of buildings to ensure the students of Northampton have the best possible education has been very motivational for all of us".
