An important milestone has been marked in the creation of a new primary school in Maldon. A steel signing ceremony took place at the Limebrook Primary School and Nursery site on Friday 15 September.
When complete, the facility will provide a state-of-the-art educational facility for more than 400 children. This will help meet increasing local demand for school and early year places at the Limebrook Way development. The two-form primary school will accommodate 420 children in total, while the nursery will provide 56 places for children. The school has an advanced, net zero carbon in operation design.
At the steel signing event our Cabinet Members were joined by Local MP Sir John Whittingdale, Morgan Sindall Construction, Ingleton Wood and the Lion Academy Trust. The event celebrated progress on site so far. Attendees were invited to ceremoniously sign one of the development’s steel beams.
Councillor Tony Ball, Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Education Excellence, Lifelong Learning and Employability, said:
This significant investment in school and nursery places in Maldon will help meet the needs of the growing community in this part of the district, and shows Essex County Council’s commitment to ensuring every child in Essex has access to high-quality educational facilities.
It was fantastic to be able to attend the steel signing ceremony and see the progress on the school first hand. Not only will the new buildings provide state-of-the-art facilities for children, but the advanced, net zero carbon in operation design will help reduce the carbon emissions that can be caused by school buildings.
