Recently, we were trusted by BAM Construction to manufacture and install our range of washroom packages at Byrchall High School in Wigan.
Byrchall is one of four schools in Wigan that received funding from the Department for Education’s £1bn School Rebuilding Programme and is one of 50 new eco and self-sustainable schools that will be built in the UK over the next three years.
Redevelopment of the school, which has 1,200 pupils, commenced in 2022 after it was deemed no longer fit for purpose.
Under plans drawn up by BAM Design, the original building was demolished and replaced with a brand new facility. The school was constructed in phases to ensure that teaching could continue throughout the project.
The new building provides pupils with a four-court, multi-use sports hall, a dance studio, educational workshops, and a dining room facility for events and theatre.
Externally, the development includes an outdoor sports pitch, a performance area, a tuck shop, and a pizza oven.

Following the successful completion of Fred Longworth High School in Tyldesley, Inscape were appointed to work on Byrchall High School, the next school in the framework.
We were asked to install the same DFE approved products, with the addition of our Vanity Island Walls as this was deemed a better solution to the previously installed design.
We manufactured and installed:
- Full Height DFE compliant Extremus Solid Grade Laminate Cubicles complete with our patented Emergency Release Facility as additional safety feature in the event a user collapses onto the door inside ensuring they can easily be accessed to administer first aid.
- Full Height Extremus IPS Duct Paneling to accompany the Cubicles.
- Extremus Solid Grade Laminate Vanity Units.
- Extremus Solid Grade Laminate Vanity Walls.
- All products were manufactured using Fundermax Laminates complete with Heavy Duty Satin Anodized Aluminium Fittings.
