Galliford Try has secured the job to deliver the Hull and East Riding batch of schools worth £35.7m under the Priority Schools Building Programme.

It is Galliford Try’s first success since the firm was appointed to the Education Funding Agency’s main contractor framework last November.

The Hull and East Riding batch includes the £19m construction of Hessle High School and Sixth Form College, as well as new buildings for Eastfield, Francis Askew, Wold and Ainthorpe Primary Schools in the region.

The Hessell High School and Sixth Form College currently sits on two separate sites and will be redeveloped on a single site at Heads Lane, Hessle, home of the current Upper School.

Galliford Try Chief Executive Greg Fitzgerald said: “We are delighted to have secured our first success since our appointment to the EFA’s main contractor framework last year.

“Education remains a key sector for our construction business and we look forward to working with the EFA and the schools in the Hull and East Riding batch to produce the high quality buildings and facilities their pupils deserve.”
