St Andrew the Apostle School - Project Information Notice

Building 5 of North London Business Park (NLBP) was first occupied by the school in 2013. The planning process for the permanent building has been delayed so the life of the temporary accommodation needs to be extended. The original temporary fitout of existing buildings was light touch and after 8 years of usage remedial works beyond normal school maintenance is required.

Building 4 (floor 2) of NLBP was occupied by the Trust in September 2018, it was fitted out to a more permanent level. Whilst it is still generally in good condition recent roof leaks have damaged some classrooms.
