A new contractor has been appointed by West Sussex County Council to complete enabling works at Woodlands Meed College, to prepare for construction of a new all-weather pitch and additional car parking.
Sunninghill Construction has been appointed by the council after previous contractor ISG entered administration earlier this year.
Sunninghill will recommence ground clearance works on Monday, 9 December. These are required before the main phase two construction works can begin.
The appointment of a contractor to complete the remaining Phase 2 works is expected to be made by West Sussex County Council in early 2025.
Staff and pupils at Woodlands Meed College have already moved into the new main building after it was handed over to the school by the council earlier this summer.
The multi-million pound development in Burgess Hill provides new facilities including a hydrotherapy pool, 12 new classrooms and a two-court sports hall for 100 children with special educational needs and disabilities. These are in addition to the all-weather pitch and outside multi-use games area and amphitheatre where children can sit together and hold sporting and social events.
The council remains committed to ensuring the works are completed as soon as possible and to the highest standard that we, the staff, pupils and parents expect.
