calfordseaden's architects, town planners and sustainability consultants have worked closely with Hayes School to develop a master plan, which gives a vision for the future and takes into account a Grade ll Listed building. The very successful and vibrant school is set in mature landscape designated Metropolitan Open Land (MOL).

Planning permission has been gained for the first phase of the master plan and is currently under construction. The building is designed to provide a new library and exhibition space, media studies, English, Diploma and SPALD unit. Following on will be a six court sports hall, PE and Maths suite incorporating green roofs and photo voltaics.

The Phase 1 buildings have been designed to be able to be built without disturbance to the school and are due to be completed and occupied before the 2010 autumn term. The contractor, Elliot Fastrack, are using off site manufactured steel and timber panels to meet a very tight programme.

When the whole scheme is completed the school will be focussed around the original Listed "Gasden" school house and will provide a school suitable for 21st century teaching. Construction cost for the current phase is circa £2m.
