The major expansion project has seen Sherford Vale School and Nursery double its capacity in the future.
The 10-month construction project saw a second wing added to the school building and the creation of new high-quality facilities, state-of-the-art equipment, and indoor and outdoor learning and play spaces. The new structure mirrors the existing classroom wing, with a pitched roof and a central corridor.
Indoors, there are eight new classrooms, plus workspaces, cloakrooms and toilets. Outside, is a new play area and gazebo, which add to the school’s expansive playgrounds and green space.
The teams delivering the project handed the finished facility over to Westcountry Schools Trust (WeST) in an official ceremony to mark the milestone, which also enabled pupils and families to explore the new space and thank those involved. The school expansion was funded by the Sherford Consortium - a partnership between award-winning national housebuilders, Taylor Wimpey and Vistry Group, which includes Linden Homes, Bovis Homes and Countryside Partnerships - and supported by Devon County Council, to enable the early delivery of the project.
