Carillion government services division managing director Shaun Carter said: “We are delighted to be underway with a third school under the Nottingham BSF programme, which is leading the way in providing first-class facilities for education in the area. As a market leader in delivering schools under the BSF programme, education is a strong growth area for Carillion. We look forward to building on the strong relationship we have already established with Nottingham City Council to support the delivery of its vision for sustainable, state-of-the-art, community focused schools.”
