Kier to redevelop King’s Academy Bay House

Latest News Mon, Apr 14, 2025 5:47 AM

Kier has been appointed to redevelop the King’s Academy Bay House School in Gosport, providing students with a range of new facilities.

The project is the latest Kier has won to support the Department for Education’s School Rebuilding Programme, with others including Oak Academy and Northolt High School.

The scheme will see 6862m2 of new teaching blocks installed and over 4000m2 of existing teaching space refurbished.

The new build elements of the project will provide a wide variety of learning spaces to equip teachers and students with high quality new facilities, including science laboratories, art studios and music rooms.

Designed to be net carbon zero in operation, the school will benefit from a range of sustainable features such as air source heat pumps, solar panels and passive ventilation; a design feature which helps keep the building at an optimum temperature without using energy.

Living roofs, atriums full of natural light and the addition of a central courtyard and entrance plaza will give the whole school community a modern and inspirational learning space to call home.

New electric vehicle charging points will be installed as well as additional cycle storage.

The current school building features the famous Grade II listed Bay House, with its accompanying gate house and front wall, originally built in 1838. The gothic style building will be retained and incorporated into the school’s new pedestrian entrance. Through extensive repairs to the roof, windows, doors, fascia and stonework by Kier's specialist supply chain, the heritage of the site will be maintained for generations to come.

The project was procured through the Department for Education’s High Value Band Framework.

Cheryl Ward, managing director of Kier Construction Southern, said: "This project sees Kier continue to transform education estates across the South Coast. Our work on this project will ensure that the students and staff of King’s Academy Bay House have the facilities needed to deliver on their vision of a ‘happy, successful and safe,’ school community.

Our experienced team will deliver modern teaching and learning facilities, whilst restoring the school’s heritage buildings – ensuring the school gets the most from their estate for years to come."
