Moorside Campus
Fred Longworth High School is the first of two high schools being advanced by BAM Construction under the Department for Education’s high value framework.
The scheme consists of a new three-storey teaching block and removal of the existing school to create new sports pitches.
The challenge on site was to create a new overlay on the current campus while the school continued to operate, this involved retaining three existing buildings and making use of intelligence sequencing.
Upon completion, it has increased the school’s capacity from 1,275 to 1,350 pupils and has a net zero carbon in operation.

Our Extremus Department for Education products were approved following successful installations on previous frameworks for BAM.
We were also appointed to work on the Byrchall High School – the second scheme for BAM under the Department for Education’s high-value framework, which will run simultaneously with a third education project we are working on, St. John Fisher High School.
Given our relationship and success on many DFE frameworks, we were able to engage with the contractor, architects and clients early in the process.
We offered guidance on design, ensuring continuity with the specification as well as sustainability, and advised on the right brand of colours and products for maximum longevity.
We manufactured and installed:
- “Extremus” DFE Cubicle Systems with Satin Anodised Heavy Duty, easy use, easily maintained Cubicle Ironmongery and Fittings.
- “Extremus” DFE IPS Duct Panelling Systems
- “Extremus” DFE Vanity Units
