School children may be embarking on the long-awaited six-week summer holidays, but at Lindum, the bell never rings on the education sector.

We are working to tight deadlines at 16 schools across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Cambridgeshire and Yorkshire to complete projects before students return this Autumn, ensuring teaching and learning are not disrupted.

Our work for repeat client the Priory Federation of Academies at four sites in Lincolnshire includes science classroom upgrades and internal remodelling of a trades training centre.

In Nottingham, our teams are delivering projects ranging from fire alarms to re-roofing at seven primary schools for Nottingham City Council, another repeat client.

In Yorkshire, we are delivering a pipeline of refurbishments for Red Kite Learning Trust, a multi-academy trust of 14 schools across North Yorkshire and West Yorkshire.

The works include a new landscaped outdoor space for children to enjoy, and roof replacement. We procured our school summer projects through our membership of frameworks.

Lindum Framework Manager Steve Duckering said: “Our commitment to forward-planning is evident in projects like our summer works programme for Nottingham City Council where discussions began as early as October last year, utilising the efficient procurement mechanisms offered by frameworks.

“These frameworks enable us to collaborate with clients early in the process, ensuring projects are meticulously planned and resourced. This proactive approach is essential for successful delivery, especially when working under tight deadlines like the school summer holidays.”

Other school summer works include refurbishments in Boston, Wisbech and Peterborough.
