North Tyneside Schools

This four-school education PFI project in North Tyneside consists of one secondary school (Burnside) and three primary schools (Western, Marine and Coquet). All four schools became operational between 2003 and 2004 and between them serve 2,500 staff and pupils.

Designed by Seymour, Harris Keppie and supported by Buro Happold, the schools were built by Kajima Construction Europe (UK) Limited. Careful consideration was paid to the needs and aspirations of each school, as well as the opportunities and challenges presented by the sites. All the schools are complemented by a wide range of extended use facilities which are used frequently by the local community.

Operations and maintenance services (FM services) are provided by MITIE. HICL owns a 50 per cent stake in this project, through a joint venture with Kajima Partnerships Ltd, a subsidiary of Kajima
Corporation.
