Tender Information

Work didn't stop following submission of the Planning Application for the new school!!


The 'Design Team' have had a very busy couple of months producing detailed design drawings and specifications for the new school, to enable EG Carter to produce their cost plan. This is a very busy time for us all, working closely as a team to ensure the building is properly co-ordinated from the Building Structure and Fabric through to the Ventilation, Heating and Lighting Strategies....and of course to ensure that we can deliver the building on time and budget.


Below is an extract from the drawings showing how the school will be built and the different materials we are using.

Planning Application Submitted!

It seems to have been a long journey to get to this point, especially for the Coopers Edge School Parent Community Group who submitted their bid to run the school back in April 2009, but an important milestone has been reached with the submission of a Planning Application that was formally registered on the 20th August.

You can view the application and all of the submitted drawings and supporting information here:

The Application Reference number is:  10/0087/STR3MJ


Fingers Crossed for a successful outcome!

Pre-Planning Design Consultation - Monday 5th July

We held our Pre-Planning Design Consultation in the evening at the Whittle Inn, located on the adjacent Gloucester Business Park and easily accessible for all residents and interested parties.

We displayed the developed designs for the school including, site plans, floor plans, 3D views of the building including elevational treatments, card models and sections. The entire Project Team was on hand to discuss the proposals with all attendees which numbered well over 50. This enabled all interested parties to view the selected scheme and comment on aspects of the design that they liked and also felt disappointed by.

We received some excellent feedback (both good and bad, but all constructive and useful) that has assisted us in developing the final scheme to be submitted for Planning Approval during August.
