A MULTI-million pound refurbishment of the boys' accommodation at Bromsgrove School has reached its final phase.

Elmshurst House, which accommodates more than 90 boys aged 13 to 18, has already undergone major improvement works by Deeley Construction, including the addition of a houseparent's study and a new common room with its own pool table.

Lesley Brookes, bursar at Bromsgrove School, said: "The boys and house staff are all thrilled with their new communal areas and are looking forward to moving into their en-suite bedrooms.

“This is a substantial and complicated project for the school so we have been very pleased with the Deeley Construction team who have done everything possible to reduce the disruption.

“We are all now excited to see the completion of the project next summer.”

Boys will move into their new en-suite bedrooms in the next few weeks, as the £3.6m project moves into its final stage, which will see the school's car parking provision extended.

Chris Newman, project manager at Deeley Construction, said: "We are very pleased to have been able to carry out this work with minimum disruption, which is, of course, a major priority for us and the school.

“We are very pleased to being play such a big part in the future of such a historic and respected school and we are sure that everyone is going to love the finished house.

“We are looking forward to completing the rest of the project and letting staff and pupils see the culmination of this planning and hard work.”
