Works kick-off at Brent Primary School

Construction has started on our latest Kent County Council school project.

The extension of Brent Primary School will provide a total of 8 new classrooms, two group rooms and a hall. The new energy efficient building is replacing an industrial looking canteen building from the 1940s, which was in a poor state of repair and was expensive to heat due to its poor insulation.
