Graham has landed a £37m job to overhaul The Castle Rock School in Coalville, Leicestershire.

The contractor has been appointed by the Department for Education to deliver a major redevelopment of the secondary and sixth form campus.

Architect DLA designed the scheme, which will see a new two-storey teaching block built alongside the refurbishment and remodelling of a retained building.

Several outdated blocks will be demolished to make way for modern accommodation for up to 1,550 pupils.

External works include new outdoor learning and play areas, a three-court multi-use games area, new sports pitches and wider site upgrades.
