We believe that a great education begins with a safe, welcoming, and well-maintained environment. Our dedicated estates team works tirelessly across all our schools to ensure that every classroom, corridor, and outdoor space supports the best possible learning experience.

Their work is not just about fixing what is broken – it is about shaping the future of our schools. Whether improving energy efficiency, creating accessible spaces, or designing welcoming outdoor areas, our estates team helps turn big ideas into real, lasting change.

"The work we do, often behind the scenes, ensures that our staff and learners have the best possible spaces to learn, grow, and succeed."

The team is responsible for:

• maintenance of our school buildings, grounds, vehicles and sports facilities
• managing improvement projects that enhance learning environments
• ensuring our schools and our processes are compliant with statutory and regulatory standards
• managing the health and safety across our sites and our processes
• leading sustainability projects to help us towards achieving net zero

Latest projects

Every new project begins as an idea: a sketch on paper, a conversation in a staff room, a spark of “what if?” From there, the Estates Team gets to work, turning those ideas into real spaces that change the way our schools feel and function.

Over the past year, we have transformed tired spaces, created outdoor areas that encourage play and curiosity, and introduced sustainable upgrades that are already making a difference to energy use.
