Our team are delighted to have successfully overseen a programme of significant refurbishment works to the Nursery and Reception facilities at Huncoat Primary School in Accrington.
The project, which was undertaken during the summer holiday period, focused on the Early Years and Foundation Stage (EYFS) classrooms and associated areas, with the aim of upgrading and modernising the facilities for both pupils and staff.
Lea Hough played a central role in project management, contract administration and cost control. Our School Building Consultants coordinated the design, procurement and delivery stages, ensuring the works were completed to the highest standards. Careful management of timescales was also essential to avoid disruption to the start of the new academic year.
Key to the project’s success was Lea Hough’s oversight of the budget. Through diligent cost monitoring and proactive problem-solving, the project was successfully delivered under budget.
The scope of works included:
Full refurbishment of EYFS classrooms with adaptations and finishes, designed to create a welcoming and modern learning environment
Installation of new toilet facilities for nursery and reception pupils
Provision of a new refurbished staff kitchen area to support the wider school team
Throughout the programme, Lea Hough worked closely with the school to ensure that priorities were met and that the finished project would enhance both the teaching and learning experience. The result is a refurbished, future-proofed space that will benefit pupils and staff for many years to come.
This project is a strong example of the value that Lea Hough’s School Building Consultants bring to education clients. By acting as a trusted partner from initial planning through to project completion, we help schools maximise their budgets, minimise disruption, and achieve high-quality results that enhance teaching and learning environments.
