School Improvement Projects in Shropshire

Three CIF-funded school projects completed on time and within budget.

Successful completion of three projects at schools in Shropshire

In December 2024, WGM submitted a number of CIF Bids for a multi academy Trust in the Shropshire area. In June 2025, WGM were pleased to discover that three of the bids had been awarded funding by the DFE.

The jobs included the replacement of a significant portion of the roof. And full-scale replacement of the existing heating system inclusive of the distribution at two schools.

Challenges faced: Owing to narrow corridors and low ceilings, the new heating distribution had to be run externally, along the flat roofs. The problem: the roofs above had received funding to be replaced.

The solution: Each programme had to be significantly adjusted to ensure that the two contractors could work side by side. After a few well-planned meetings and some adjustments in design the programme of works was finalised to allow each contractor to start works on time.

Result: All three projects were completed on time and within budget.
