Building of new school in Northampton is '˜significant challenge' and £4.7 million over budget
The opening of a new school in Northampton on the site of a former Royal Mail sorting office has become a 'significant challenge' and requires a larger budget, the county council has revealed.
A report due to be discussed at a cabinet meeting next week states the Northampton International Academy, in Barrack Road, needs to enter into a number of “urgent contracts” in order to deliver the project on time.
The renovation of the building, which is being financed by the Education Funding Agency (EFA), will now cost £34.7 million, up from the £30 million budget announced earlier this year.
