The state-of-the-art campus, located on the former Tarmac Headquarters on Millfields Road, will provide 840 pupils with a cutting-edge learning environment, which also features impressive sports facilities and an auditorium to support an array of extra curriculum activities.

Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure was appointed by Education and Funding Agency (EFA) through the Constructing West Midlands (CWM) Framework to carry out a full refurbishment of an existing four-storey building and single-storey canteen site.

Facilities

The old units have been overhauled to provide an 8,800 sqft dining area and teaching spaces for cookery and music classes.

The completed school features a separate 3,200 sqft sports hall built on a portal steel frame and an all-weather 3G pitch, along with tennis and basketball courts.

The works also included treatment of an existing mine shaft and shallow mine workings, as well as associated external works such as road and car parking re-modelling.

The academy, which opened in 2015, had been operating from a temporary base at Parkfield High School, on Wolverhampton Road East. The new campus sits on the same site as Wolverhampton Vocational Training Centre; the first free UK school to offer vocational training to students with special educational needs and disabilities, which Morgan Sindall Construction & Infrastructure successfully delivered last year.

Nick Singh Kandola, CEO, Khalsa Academies Trust said: “We have been very impressed by the quality and delivery of the school by Morgan Sindall. It has been a pleasure to work with the local team who have delivered for us.”
