Pupils, parents, and stakeholder sheld a steel signing event recently at Pilgrims’ Way Primary School in Canterbury. The highly sustainable development is being built by Morgan Sindall and will replace the existing time expired buildings with a new two-formentry primary school for 420 pupils. It will be ready for occupation in early 2026.
The scheme will see the creation of a new hall, classroom spaces, kitchen, and a multi-use games area (MUGA). The existing nursery will remain on site and be connected to the new infrastructure. Luke Kennedy, School Rebuilding Programme Director at the Department for Education, said: “I am delighted to see construction progressing on the new Pilgrim’s Way Primary School. The way inwhich the school, Morgan Sindall and other stakeholders have worked in partnership to drive this forward is an excellent example of collaboration. The end result, replacing the current 1970s buildings with a new 21st century learning environment, will make a real difference to local children.”
