Case Study
St Catherines School
The Project
St Catherines CE Primary School is a £5.6m new build primary school in Kidderminster.
The new school building was constructed within the existing site boundary on an area of land which was formerly the school playing field. In turn, the old school building was demolished and the area turned into the new playing field.
The school has three wings, one being two storey with the other two single storey. The building has pitched roofs and was designed as fully steel framed structure.
