CALA delivers health and safety workshop to Jordanhill pupils
P
rimary children at Jordanhill School received a special health and safety presentation from CALA Homes after construction work started at
Jordanhill Park. The workshop was delivered in partnership with demolition experts Dem-
Master and included important information around staying safe around the construction site as well as demolition techniques and protective equipment. Construction work started on 15 October with demolition equipment
appearing on-site and CALA Homes were keen to speak to children at the school, which sits adjacent to the site. CALA Homes West is to invest £100 million in constructing Jordanhill Park. David Sutherland, Jordanhill Park project director, said: “Now that work
has commenced on Jordanhill Park, we felt it was really important to spend some time with the children at Jordanhill School to show them how to look after themselves near the construction site. “The children showed a real interest in what we had to say so hopefully
the information will keep them safe as we continue our work between now and 2023.” Richard Buchan, Jordanhill School head teacher of primary, said: “We were
delighted to accept CALA Homes’ kind invitation to speak to our pupils about the building works near their school. “This was a great learning opportunity for the children and I would like to thank CALA Homes and Dem-Master for taking the time to visit us.”
Redhill’s most exciting new school selects Postura+ chairs H
atchlands Primary School in Redhill, Surrey is being built on the site of the former Redhill Magistrates’ Court. Whilst the renovations of the main building continue, temporary classrooms in the former bailiff’s services area of the site opened their doors in September 2018 to a small group of
reception students. This first group of students will be planting trees on site so that when they are parents themselves, they will come back to see the school thriving. Eventually, the school hopes to grow to 420 pupils with a focus on the mental, emotional and physical wellbeing of students as the number one
priority. Outdoor activities will be a prominent component of the daily life of students. The school worked with Willowbrook Education to find a chair that would create a fun, vibrant learning environment whilst being long-lasting, comfortable and modern. Postura+ chairs were selected in Grape Crush for the nursery facilities at this first stage of the school’s development. Chris Jowett, head teacher,
Hatchlands Primary School, comments: “With mental health issues being so prevalent these days we want this to be our number one priority. We are going to focus on things like forest schooling and encouraging play with an element of risk. We want to create a natural, calm space for our children to have a typical childhood, climbing in trees, getting dirty and so on. Postura+ chairs are the perfect chair for our requirements - they are durable, easy to clean and can be taken outside for occasional use.” Brodie McCarthy, Willowbrook
Education, comments: “As a trade customer, we know we can rely on KI to deliver. Their excellent customer service and extensive stocking programme ensured that we got the chairs to the school at very short notice, during the peak summer rush.”
