The new facility was delivered through a  partnership between Acivico, Birmingham City Council, Morgan Sindall Construction and the wider project team.

It will provide a modern learning environment designed to support pupils for years to come.

The completion ceremony was attended by representatives from across the project team and school community, with the Yaffi brothers officially opening the building and helping to mark the occasion.

The project forms part of Birmingham City Council's ongoing investment in education infrastructure and demonstrates a commitment to providing high-quality learning environments that support educational outcomes, wellbeing and opportunity.

Key highlights of the project include an increased intake of 420 pupils from 387, with a value of £14 million.

The completed building provides a modern, accessible and sustainable environment, designed to meet the needs of current and future learners while supporting the school's long-term aspirations.

Special recognition was given to Sara Smith and the Education team, led by Zahid Mahmood at Birmingham City Council, whose leadership and commitment were instrumental in bringing the project to completion.

Acivico also acknowledged the contribution of Morgan Sindall Construction and the wider consultant and contractor teams involved in the delivery of the scheme.

, Acivico managing director, David Morrissey said: "Projects like this are about far more than buildings. They create opportunities, support learning and provide the environments that help young people thrive.

“It is incredibly rewarding to see years of planning, design and construction culminate in a facility that will make a positive difference to pupils, staff and the wider community."
