Site Development Plans
Project Overview: The redevelopment of Woldgate School & Sixth Form College is funded by the Department for Education as part of the School Rebuilding Programme. Wates Construction has been selected by the Department for Education to design and build the new school. Wates is a national construction company with a strong local presence and a wealth of experience of successfully delivering new school buildings. The proposals includes a new Main Teaching Building, a new Sports Building, reconfiguration and increase of coach and car parking, reconfiguration and improvement of sports provision, and associated landscaping. The majority of the existing buildings are being replaced with new modern buildings, with the exception of the Sixth Form building which will be retained and incorporated into the proposed scheme. The new school will include an atrium, auditorium, library, cutting-edge laboratories, computer suites, classrooms, and sports facilities, providing cutting-edge learning facilities and resources for the children of Pocklington and surrounding villages. A resource that will also be accessible to primary schools for children of all ages. The school also intends that outside of school hours, local residents and clubs will be able to use the new school and sports facilities. The proposals will ensure continuity of facilities for the school during the build process, including the retention of the existing buildings whilst the new buildings are built without the need for temporary accommodation. The new school buildings will be designed to tackle climate change through being Net Zero Carbon in Operation (NZCiO).
