We’re delighted to share that work has begun at Lord Williams’s School in Thame, Oxfordshire, following a ground-breaking ceremony last week.

The upgrades to the School form part of Oxfordshire County Council’s strategic planning to ensure enough secondary school places are available to meet future demand. The planned expansion will allow for 150 additional pupils, in line with the school’s goal to grow from offering 11 forms of entry to 12 forms of entry as well as a new English Block that will create nine high quality teaching spaces in addition to a state-of-the-art accessible ICT suite.

As part of GSSArchitecture’s ongoing commitment to health and wellbeing in design, we have placed a strong emphasis on the inclusion of high-quality, attractive soft and hard landscaping, with new trees being planted and outdoor learning areas taking full advantage of the green space available to the school.

Appointed through the Pagabo Professional Services Framework, GSS are providing Architectural Services alongside Main Contractor, Borras Construction, and GSSllp, who are working as Employers Agent and Quantity Surveyors.
