Caunton have supplied and erected the steelwork for a new school in the Potteries. The new, and larger, Thistley Hough High School, designed by architect Aedas, engineer Cundall, will accommodate 1,050 pupils aged 11-16. Current school numbers are c 800. The new school will enjoy a Media and Visual Arts specialist status.

The building will house learning, community and leisure facilities which are accessible through a light filled multi-purpose central heart space. Dedicated teaching accommodation sits either side of three three-storey heart spaces. The 500te of structural steel by Caunton efficiently frames this two and three storey building of contemporary design, which itself achieves BREEAM Good.
