New Sports Hall for School Thanks to GF Tomlinson
Construction firm and Team Lincolnshire Ambassador G F Tomlinson has completed a brand new sports hall and associated facilities at Redmoor Academy in Hinckley.
The contractor worked in close partnership with Surveyors to Education, the employer’s agent on the scheme, to deliver the project on behalf of Leicestershire County Council.
The project provides new high-quality teaching and sports accommodation to support the academy’s continued growth and to enrich the educational experience of its pupils.
It features include a 696m2 hall designed for a range of indoor sports including cricket, basketball, netball, badminton and handball.
Other facilities include dedicated changing rooms, a reception area, offices, four classrooms and a fitness room, all of which create modern, flexible and inspiring learning environments.
This new development builds on G F Tomlinson’s previous improvement works at the school, including the delivery of a new teachers’ car park last year.
Andy Sewards, Group Chairman at G F Tomlinson, said:
“We are delighted to mark the successful completion of this significant scheme at Redmoor Academy. The new sports hall and teaching spaces represent a major investment in the future of the school and will have a positive impact on generations of students.
“It has been a pleasure to work collaboratively with the academy and Leicestershire County Council to deliver facilities that not only enhance pupil learning but also support the wider community.”
Redmoor Academy Principal Matt Nicolle said:
“Seeing this project completed is a proud moment for our school. The new sports and teaching facilities will transform the opportunities available to our students, supporting both their academic development and physical wellbeing.
“This is a facility that truly reflects the ambitions and values of Redmoor Academy, and we are excited to see our pupils and local community make full use of it.”
Councillor Charles Pugsley, Cabinet Member for Children and Families at Leicestershire County Council, said:
“We are delighted to see the new facilities at Redmoor Academy open. This is one of our biggest investments in helping schools to expand so they can accommodate rising pupil numbers and also offer the best possible learning environment.”
