Phoenix Brickwork, a construction company specialising in brickwork, scaffolding, and steel frame systems (SFS), is providing essential support in the redevelopment of Ridgewood School in Doncaster. The project is part of the UK Government’s £1 billion schools rebuilding programme, which is set to transform 50 schools nationwide.
Based in Derbyshire, the company is supplying multiple services for the project, including brickwork, SFS, internal partitions, ceilings, and scaffolding. The goal is to replace outdated infrastructure with a modern, three-storey learning environment for 500 students, incorporating eco-friendly and sustainable designs.
The project, led by BAM Construction, is already making progress. The steel framework is now in place, and the building’s foundations are complete. Ridgewood School will operate as a net-zero building, contributing to a green, biodiverse educational campus.
Phoenix Brickwork’s involvement in providing multi-trade solutions simplifies the project management process, offering efficiency and coordination to ensure the work progresses on schedule. The project reduces potential delays and streamlines delivery by consolidating services under a single contractor.
As part of the development, Ridgewood students will also engage in activities to personalise the new building, including selecting a name and contributing to a time capsule. This project marks an important milestone in the Government’s schools upgrade programme and showcases Phoenix Brickwork’s capacity to deliver integrated construction solutions.
