Project Overview
A New Classroom, Ready for September
Haddenham Community Infant School needed additional classroom capacity to accommodate rising pupil numbers, with a tight deadline to have the new learning space ready for the start of the September term.
BGR Modular Classrooms designed and constructed a permanent 71m² timber-framed classroom on site, creating a bright, energy-efficient teaching environment for up to 32 pupils.
From the school's first enquiry to pupils sitting at their desks, the entire project was completed within the summer period, demonstrating how quickly a high-quality permanent classroom can be delivered when programme, design and construction are carefully managed.

Built On Site. Built Around the School.
Unlike modular classrooms that are manufactured as fixed units elsewhere and transported to the school, BGR classrooms are constructed on site.
For Haddenham Community Infant School, this allowed the building programme to be carefully managed around the school environment while creating a permanent classroom tailored to the school's requirements.
BGR's on-site construction approach also gives schools greater freedom over the size, layout and height of their buildings, without many of the transport restrictions associated with off-site modular units.
The Outcome
A Permanent Classroom Built for the Future
In just 11 weeks from mobilisation, Haddenham Community Infant School gained a fully operational new classroom ready for pupils at the beginning of the September term.
The finished building provides additional capacity for 32 pupils in a comfortable, accessible and energy-efficient learning environment, while giving the school a permanent addition to its estate rather than a short-term classroom solution.
