Caunton is supplying the steelwork for a new school being built in Corby by main contractor, Interserve. Caunton is no stranger to Northamptonshire educational establishments having helped build two new schools within the Northants PFI scheme – at the time the largest ever implemented. (See Caunton web site news 03.07.06) The new Kingswood School, which will cater for 1200 pupils, is being built partly on the site of the existing Kingswood School and partly on the site of a former school - the Our Lady and Pope John School.

Caunton is supplying over 500te of structural steelwork, on a design and build basis, for this two storey structure and its three storey central core.

The existing school is a highly regarded specialist arts college, and the new facilities will include speciality drama facilities, which include its own theatre plus an outdoor amphitheatre, a recording studio, rehearsal rooms and a mirror dance studio with sprung floors. There will be an atrium roofed with EFT, not dissimilar to the one at Failsworth School Oldham Caunton helped construct –see Caunton web site news 04.02.08

Progress is well on course for the opening in September 2010. Architect for the exciting new School is Aedas and the consulting engineer is Faber Maunsell.
