Medway Council picks contractor to design and build three school with work starting on site later this year

BAM Construction has scooped an £80m contract to design and build three new academy schools for Medway Council.

Work on the schools - Strood Academy, Bishop of Rochester Academy and Brompton Academy – will commence later this year and early next year.

Les Wicks, Medway council’s children’s services councillor, said: “BAM’s scheme was chosen for the way it responded to the educational brief as well as the views raised by students during the design competition and their desire to deliver the building.”

Rod Stiles, construction director at BAM, added: “BAM is delighted to be working with Medway to deliver the new academies. We look forward to forging a great partnership that will deliver three outstanding academies for students and the surrounding communities.”
