Pave Aways is pleased to be appointed by Telford & Wrekin Council to extend and renovate Millbrook Primary School and Nursery in Leegomery. This significant project will increase the school’s capacity to 420 primary-age children and enhance the learning environment.
As a local contractor with a strong track record in delivering successful school projects across the Borough – including the recent expansion of Lawley Village Academy and our ongoing work at Ercall Wood Academy – Pave Aways is ideally placed to bring this vision to life.
The planned improvements at Millbrook Primary School and Nursery are will include the construction of two additional classrooms, a brand-new school hall, upgraded kitchen facilities, and a dedicated new SEND (Special Educational Needs and Disabilities) hub.
Councillor Shirley Reynolds, Cabinet Member for Children, Young People, Education, Employment and Skills at Telford & Wrekin Council, expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating: “I’m really pleased to see this project get off the ground as we protect, care, and invest to create a better borough. We remain committed to investing in our schools to provide more school places, improved facilities, and modern learning environments for the benefits of pupils and staff. Education is the cornerstone of a vibrant community. By investing in our schools, we are investing in our future.”
She further highlighted the importance of the new SEND hub: “The new SEND hub at the school will also allow the school to increase the number of spaces available for children for special education needs and ensure their learning environment is dedicated and tailored to support their needs. I look forward to seeing the progress made by Pave Aways as the project moves forward and to returning to the school to see the finished results.”
Echoing this excitement, Jo Edwards, Deputy Headteacher at Millbrook Primary School and Nursery, said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be working in partnership with Pave Aways on this vital project, which marks an exciting new chapter for Millbrook. This expansion is a significant milestone in our school’s development, reflecting our commitment to providing the very best learning environment for our children. This addition of a brand-new hall and classrooms will not only enhance our facilities but will also create a dynamic, modern, and stimulating space where our pupils can thrive. We are confident that this investment in our school’s future will have a lasting, positive impact, supporting the growth, wellbeing, and educational experiences of all our children for years to come.”
Steven Owen, Managing Director of Pave Aways, commented: “We are proud to partner with Telford & Wrekin Council and Millbrook Primary School and Nursery on this project. With our extensive experience in delivering education projects across the region, Pave Aways is committed to creating high-quality learning environments that benefit pupils, staff, and the wider community. By working with our trusted local supply chain, we look forward to enhancing the school’s facilities to support its long-term growth and future needs.”
This project underscores Telford & Wrekin Council’s ongoing commitment to investing in its schools. In the budget for 2025/26, a further £45.2million has been earmarked to support and develop the school expansion programme across the borough.
