New Designs for Bulmershe School

Wokingham Borough Council announced that designs for a £ 6million building programme at The Bulmershe School are now being drawn up and a feasibility study carried out.

The major construction is being funded and managed by Wokingham Borough Council, which has appointed architects Re-format to draw up design feasibility options which specifically meet the school’s aims to raise aspiration and raise achievement still further.

The mixed sex comprehensive in Woodley was built in 1964 and the £6million capital investment means that the accommodation and facilities will be updated, refurbished and remodelled to give its students and staff a 21st century learning environment.

The actual stages of the build will depend on the design option agreed by planners in 2013. It is expected that work will begin on site, on a phased basis, at the start of the summer holidays in 2013 aiming to have the new facilities completely finished and ready for students and staff by September 2015 at the very latest.
