Topping Out @ Notting Hill & Ealing Highschool

With a long-standing relationship with GDST (The Girls’ Day School Trust) following the delivery of many new build and refurbishment schemes, including Brighton Girls, Bromley High School GDST and Wimbledon High School GDST, we are delighted to be delivering a new junior school at Notting Hill & Ealing High School GDST using a highly sustainable cross laminated timber construction (CLT) method.

We recently celebrated a milestone ‘topping out’ event at Notting Hill and Ealing High School, signifying the completion of the new junior school structure. The new building will provide 14 classrooms, specialist teaching facilities for music, art, science and IT, a library and hall with performance seating, along with external space for a science garden, forest school area and dedicated play space for reception pupils. The scheme, which has a strong emphasis on sustainability, will achieve net-zero carbon through the use of a CLT frame, south facing panels to capture sunlight and supply electricity, heat pumps and a heat recovery system.

The fit out of the new school will now progress in earnest with completion of the scheme in Autumn 2023.
