Simon was involved in the delivery of a £100m programme of new-build primary and secondary schools across Peterborough, supporting the city's growing demand for education facilities during a period of significant population growth and development.
The programme required close collaboration with the Department for Education (DfE), Peterborough City Council and wider project stakeholders to plan, design and deliver new school facilities that met the needs of expanding local communities.
Working alongside the Local Authority and DfE, Simon was responsible for coordinating the design and construction process, managing project teams and overseeing the delivery of multiple school developments within the wider capital programme.
A key aspect of the role was balancing programme priorities, funding requirements and construction timescales, while ensuring each school was designed to provide a practical, high-quality learning environment for pupils and staff.
Effective stakeholder engagement and programme coordination were central to managing the challenges of delivering multiple education projects, ensuring alignment between the Local Authority, DfE, design teams and contractors throughout the development process.
The £100m programme supported the expansion of Peterborough's education infrastructure, providing much-needed primary and secondary school places to accommodate the city's growing population.
