Southend Borough Council awards Lakehouse £1.97M BREEAM school project

Southend Borough Council has awarded Lakehouse a £1.97million contract for the extension and reconfiguration of Barons Court Infant School and Nursery, Westcliff-on-Sea. The school, located in an area of relative deprivation, is the smallest mainstream school in the borough and has the highest per pupil funding of any primary school in the borough. The expansion will make the school more cost effective and provide much needed additional primary school places.
