The deals to build Haygrove School and the Sir Frederick Gibberd College were secured by Caledonian under Department for Education (DfE) frameworks.
Caledonian will create a brand new £29m secondary school at the Sir Frederick Gibberd College at the site of the former Passmore School in Harlow, Essex. It will comprise a 1,200-place secondary school built over three storeys including a school hall, dining hall, drama studio and a 500-place sixth form teaching area as well as sports facilities and all associated external works and pitches.

Haygrove School in Bridgwater will employ Caledonian’s component-based school solution to replace the main school building. The construction work will be undertaken while the school remains open with efforts taken to minimise disruption.
The three-storey building will consist of classrooms, double-height hall and studio spaces, offices, kitchen and associated rooms for educational purposes, along with enabling, groundworks and external works.
Both schools incorporate factory-installed concrete floors to deliver an acoustically compliant and durable environment for occupants and up to 96% of the work on each module is completed by Caledonian in its factory before being delivered to site.
At the same time as the modules are being manufactured, Caledonian, operating as the principal contractor, will be carrying out groundworks and other works on site, meaning handover can be up to half the time it would take a traditional build.
Paul Lang, chief executive of Caledonian Modular said: “Haygrove and SFG are both large projects, which, alongside our other recent new business wins, underpin our future growth strategy. We have worked closely with the DfE and the schools, as we do on all our education projects, to deliver a modern, efficient teaching spaces that will open up further opportunities for young people in the area.”
