• Walkley Primary School new build update 31/01/20

  Fri 31 Jan 2020 Mr Wallis

  It has been another very productive week for the builders on site finishing the extension of the earthwork for the haul road to the new school site and preparing the trenches for the service ducting that run aside the new road to the former all weather pitch (site of our new school), These services connect the existing services to the new school site. As well as the work undertaken on the haul road, Interserve are making the necessary preparations to the ground for the construction of the new school building itself, cutting in to the surface of the all weather pitch to create the necessary Earthwork levels for the installation of the piles that will support the steelwork structure of our new school. 

   

  Very soon Interserve will be laying the curbing edges to the new road and adding tarmac to the earthwork surface, as well as making the necessary alterations to the entrance of the driveway on Burnaby Crescent. 

   

  Once again, thank you for your patience during the construction of our new school. If you have comments, queries or concerns, do please contact Interserve directly at jack.broomhead@interserve.com or alternatively you can contact us at enquiries@walkley.sheffield.sch.uk to pass on your messages. 

   

  Here are some pictures of the developments this week.

  

• Safe Sam meets Walkley pupils

  Tue 28 Jan 2020 Mr Wallis

  This morning Safe Sam from Interserve met the children to discuss how to stay safe around and on a building site. Our 12 Golden Citizens tried on the equipment that the workmen and women will be wearing to keep themselves safe whist at work. Safe Sam also discussed the importance of staying off building and construction sites as they are very dangerous places to play.

   

  Thanks Safe Sam.

  

• Walkley Primary School new build update 24/01/20

  Fri 24 Jan 2020 Mr Wallis

  It has been a very productive week for the builders on site this week extending the haul road to the new school site. Earthwork is well underway, one of the major works involved in the new road construction involves the removal of topsoil, along with any vegetation and trees, between Burnaby and Tennyson, before scraping and grading the area to the required level. It's been very exciting to see the excavator and dumper trucks on site with the road already stretching down to the MUGA in preparation for the construction of the school building.

   

  Interserve have secured the site for the new school and added barriers across Majuba Street and the path from Whitehouse Lane to avoid any further confusion on access through the building site. Thank you for your patience during the changes to these arrangements. They will remain for the foreseeable future and certainly during the construction of the new school.

   

  Here are some pictures of the developments this week.

• Walkley Primary School New Build Update

  Mon 20 Jan 2020 Mr Wallis

  As you will have seen, this week the contractor Interserve and their partners have begun to make significant progress with the new haulage road which is to pass between Burnaby and Tennyson buildings. Also, with help from our Golden Citizens, the trees occupying the location of the new road were moved to the orchard near to the Forest School. Down on the all-weather pitch the new school boundary fencing has been installed to secure the site for construction. Take a look at this week's pictures:
