Site Progress Update: The Wheatridge School, Gloucester
Exciting progress is underway at the future site of The Wheatridge School in Gloucester, as construction continues to move forward at pace.
Last week, representatives from Reach South Academy Trust joined Gloucestershire County Council, E G Carter & Co Ltd, and members of the local community for a special steel signing ceremony. This event marked a significant milestone in the development of the new school, celebrating the completion of the steel framework and the collaborative efforts driving the project forward.
Our CEO, Tom Leverage, proudly signed the steel structure, commemorating the occasion and symbolising the next phase of construction. The ceremony provided a meaningful moment to reflect on the transformative impact The Wheatridge School will have on children and families across Gloucestershire.
