Alperton Community School

"Feedback about the new building from students, staff and governors has been consistently excellent, and it has had a very positive effect on morale.  It is fantastic to have one dedicated building for the sixth form, rather than having to share facilities as previously."

"We felt Foremans demonstrated the best experience and resources to undertake this project, and the sustainability benefits of pre-owned modular buildings were a key factor in our choice of the approach.  We aim to educate all our students about the importance of recycling, and this is an excellent way of demonstrating how the school is helping to meet the green agenda with its own actions."

"Foremans managed the project very well, with no disruption to the school, despite working on a very constrained site and to a challenging programme, and completed the scheme and the high level of fitting out to time and on budget."

Maggie Rafee, Head Teacher, Alperton Community School

"We are very pleased with this building.  Initially we were sceptical about whether the pre-owned approach could deliver the quality we aspired to.  In reality, you cannot tell the difference between this and new build."

"The project also demonstrates how the addition of architectural elements such as timber cladding, brise soleil and an entrance canopy can enhance a building, successfully satisfying planning requirements as well as the needs of the school and the community."

"The new sixth form centre has been delivered at half the cost of traditional new build and with a miniscule carbon footprint.  We would definitely use the Foremans approach again."
