Willmott Dixon operations director Michelle Cotterill said: “We are very excited to be involved in these three projects to provide much-needed school places for the Sandwell community throughout its period of rapid expansion. We’ll be bringing to each scheme our proven track record of working in live education environments.

“As with all projects, our goal will be to leave a lasting legacy within the communities we work and are aiming to deliver over £1.2m worth of social value across all three schools by introducing initiatives that include the improvement of staff wellbeing, supporting local people into employment and providing NEETs students with employability skills and training opportunities.”

Recently, Willmott Dixon has completed the residential homestead at the Oaklands College, the first phase of the £62m redevelopment project to transform St. Albans campus.

The new homestead can now accommodate over 80 students and the facility includes two large communal areas, two shared kitchens and underfloor heating throughout. At the rear of the building, a basketball court has also been built.
