Bohunt Secondary School, Arborfield

Latest News Wed, Sep 20, 2017 11:51 AM

In 2015, the MoD sold their 112-year-old garrison in Arborfield, Wokingham to developers.

As part of a wider regeneration scheme, the new Arborfield Green development will see the former garrison transformed into a sustainable garden village that, when completed, will include new homes and schools, shops, offices, restaurants and parks.

One school is Bohunt which opened in September 2016 for 110 year-seven pupils in temporary accommodation while a new £35 million building rose from the construction site next door. This state of the art facility will be ready for 1,500 pupils in September 2017.

Hard landscaping plans for the new school featured pathways and two large ‘amphitheatre’ style courtyards which were designed to provide external classrooms and create areas to eat and socialise.

SureSet Permeable Paving were contracted by Dawnus to install the resin bound aspect of the project, and in June 2017 were on site for five days laying and impressive 1,461m² of Barley Beach resin bound paving.

The smooth, accessible SureSet surface provides a welcoming entrance to the main entrance and seamlessly links together other areas of the school; completely transforming the outside of the school.


Key features of the resin bound installation:

  • Natural Aggregate: 6mm Barley Beach
  • Application: courtyard, footpath,
  • Area: 1461m²
  • Depth: 20mm
  • Edges: concrete, wood
  • Installed: June 2017
  • Contractor: Dawnus
  • Project Manager: Martin Holt

Quote from Martin Holt, Project Manager:

“During the two-year lead up to this project, SureSet were always quick to respond to queries and happy to accommodate the needs of Dawnus, our client and the landscape architect.

This relationship has resulted in an excellent end product for our client, so we couldn’t be happier.”
