Galliford Try’s Building North East and Yorkshire business unit has handed over the new Great Park Academy, a 1,200-place secondary school in Newcastle Great Park.
The Department for Education scheme, which will be run by the Gosforth Group Multi Academy Trust, will open in September, welcoming students that have been based in temporary accommodation in the nearby Gosforth Academy site since 2021.
The new school features flexible and inspirational teaching spaces over three-storeys, including sports, music, art, and drama facilities, learning resource centre, and a suite of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities support spaces for SEND students.

Externally, soft and hard landscaping has been enhanced, or newly created, and includes the addition of a dedicated play area, and external learning spaces, including multi-use games area.
