Replacement Stretford primary school comes forward

Barton Clough Primary School is to be reconstructed next to its current location on Audley Avenue as part of the government’s multi-billion-pound drive to improve the country’s education estate.

The Department for Education is working up plans to replace the Stretford primary school with a modern, purpose-built block and improved external areas.

The single-storey school would feature a double-height assembly space, improved multi-use games area, and a dedicated forest school zone.

The school would also be net-zero in operation, according to planning documents.

Tilbury Douglas is the contractor attached to the project. Ellis Williams Architects is leading on design and Iceni is advising on planning matters.

The construction of the new facility would be phased so as to ensure the existing school remains operational throughout.
