County Antrim construction company McAvoy has won a £37.5 million tender to build a secondary school in Essex.
Awarded by the UK Secretary of State for Education, the project will see it construct the new Orsett Heath Academy in Thurock. The school will have capacity for 1,200 pupils aged from 11 to 16 in three storey accommodation which stretches to over 8,000 square metres.
Work at the site of the permanent building started in May and the school is due to be completed in September 2024.
