Seddon Construction has been awarded the contract to construct a satellite building for the existing Watermill School in Packmoor.
The new building complex will have capacity to accommodate up to 70 pupils and is expected to be completed by July 2026, opening to pupils in September 2026.
The satellite school is being built on the site of the former Middlehurst School, which was closed in 2014 and demolished in 2022.
Councillor Finlay Gordon McCusker, cabinet member for transport, infrastructure and regeneration at Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “Seddon has been involved at every step of the process, through the pre-construction design and planning phase. Their appointment as the main contractor will see this exciting and much-needed development moving forward at pace.”
Seddon commercial manager Lee Shaw said: “This is a project we’re deeply proud to be delivering - not just because of the difference it will make to children and families, but because it represents a strong collaboration between experienced, regional partners. We’re excited to be on site and to see the vision start to take shape.”
