WORK is progressing at pace on the renovation of Woodlands School in Coventry, with the project now seven months into its construction phase since works began in January.
The scheme, being delivered by Coventry City Council (CCC) in partnership with Clegg Construction, will modernise the existing site.
Over recent months, internal works have gathered momentum, with teams of partitioners, plumbers and electricians on site, and plastering due to start shortly. Joinery and decorating works are scheduled to follow as the project continues to meet key milestones.
At the end of the school term in July, pupils, staff, Woodlands Ward Councillors and officers at Coventry City Council came together to celebrate the installation of a new mural at the site entrance, designed by the school’s students.
Coun Dr Kindy Sandhu, CCC’s Cabinet Member for Education and Skills, said: “This renovation is about more than bricks and mortar – it’s about building a space where children can thrive.
“It’s fantastic to see pupils contributing to the project through their own artwork and gaining a sense of pride in their school’s future.”
Outside, new car park areas are taking shape, with the final surfacing due soon. Inside, walls are going up, services and ventilation are being installed, and fire protection works are almost complete. Roof and fascia repairs are also underway.
The new school is due to be completed in 2026.
