Cromer Road Primary School

The Cromer Road Primary School is a 2 Form Entry (2FE) mixed primary school. The school is situated in New Barnet, London Borough of Barnet and the site is accessed via Cromer Road.

The school has 420 pupils on roll from Reception through to Year 6; aged between 4 - 11 years. The intention of this project is to provide a single new build block for replacement of the modular blocks EFAB, EFAE and EFAH, which are to be demolished due to now being beyond their design life. Furthermore, block EFAF is to receive a medium refurbishment after completion of the new build block.

The school's pre-fabricated modular blocks provide 603m2 gross area and are founded on brick/block pillars directly on the earth with poor drainage. Overall the internal, external and thermal elements are poor. The blocks are beyond economic repair and a new build replacement block is required to accommodate classrooms, staff rooms, storage rooms, toilets, and a library.

The school is to remain open for the duration of the works. A partial completion and handover on 24-10-2018 is considered essential for the school to meet its education commitments.

This will be a JCT Design & Build Contract using the JCT DB11 with Schedule of Amendments with a Pre-Construction Services Agreement (PCSA) adopted. The contractor will be responsible for all aspects of design to progress the Control Option and associated Planning and Building Control Approvals and the subsequent construction.
