Chace Community School rebuild

Latest project update – September 2026

An exciting new chapter has begun for Chace Community School

A major milestone has been reached with the successful completion and handover of the first phase of the school's redevelopment. On 1 September 2026, the new facilities were officially handed over to the school. Staff and pupils have now moved into their new learning environment. Teaching is underway within the new buildings, marking the beginning of a transformational period for the school community.

The completed first phase includes:

a state-of-the-art three-storey teaching building
a modern sports block
a new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA)
new external spaces and supporting infrastructure

The project has been delivered whilst the school remained fully operational. This allowed pupils and staff to continue their education with minimal disruption throughout the construction programme. The former school buildings have now been vacated and attention is turning to the final stage of this exciting redevelopment.

Looking ahead

Work will now continue on the final phase of the project, which will deliver:

demolition of the former school buildings
new playing fields and outdoor recreation areas
enhanced landscaping across the site
additional external improvements and finishing works
completion of the wider campus transformation

Once complete, the redevelopment will provide Chace Community School with a modern, sustainable and inspiring campus that supports learning, wellbeing, sport and community use for many years to come. The overall project remains on track for completion in Summer 2027.
