Page 1 of 5 1. Executive Summary
The new Kingsway Park High School was completed on 31st May 2013 Good construction progress continued to be made across all live construction sites, with a number of phase handovers at Holy Family RC & CE College, Middleton Technology School and Matthew Moss. As at 30 June 2013, the Rochdale BSF programme had achieved a full 12 months with no lost-time accidents and 16 months RIDDOR-free. This was an excellent achievement bearing in mind that this covered 11 different construction sites and a considerable number of man hours worked. 2 sites were presented with National Bronze Awards under the Considerate Constructors Scheme (Holy Family, Middleton Tech).
2. Programme Overview
During Q1 2013 the new Kingsway Park High School was completed. There were also a number of further construction phase completions as summarised below.

As at the end of June 2013, there were five secondary school sites in construction (Holy Family RC & CE College; Middleton Technology School; Falinge Park High School; Wardle High School and St Cuthbert’s RC High School). Post-completion and contract variation works were also ongoing at Brownhill (Heights Lane site) and Kingsway Park High School.
Good progress is also being made with 12-month defect inspections at the completed schemes, with any identified defects being addressed by the Aftercare team.
Construction quality (KPI 2.5) We have developed the following scoring criteria in conjunction with RMBC, which will be used to measure the quality of completed work phases going forward:
Quality score Description Examples of defects classification 0 – 3 Major Defects Failure of a structural member resulting in areas unavailable to use Mains power, services outage or major pipe leak resulting

3. Performance Overview
The LEP’s key performance indicators (KPIs) are set out in the Strategic Partnering Agreement. A full summary of the LEP’s performance against these KPIs for Q1 (Apr – Jun) 2013 is set out at Appendix 1, however some key points are highlighted below:
Curriculum and careers support
During Q1 we provided 10 adult and 12 student work experience placements and 419 hours of combined careers and wider curriculum support to schools and the local authority, bringing our cumulative total to 86 work placements and 4,061 hours of careers and curriculum support respectively.
Health & Safety
Page 3 of 5 There were no reportable accidents occurred during the reporting period. 2 schemes received Considerate Constructors Scheme monitoring visits, achieving the following scores (each score is out of a maximum 50):
Midd Tech – 44 Holy Family - 43
We believe that these scores remain amongst the highest nationally under the new CCS scoring regime.
As at the end of June, the Rochdale BSF programme had achieved a full 12 months with no “lost-time” incidents and 16 months RIDDOR-free. The LEP issued letters to all the site teams to congratulate them on this outstanding achievement.
Supporting the local economy
During Q1 2013, £0.31million was spent within the Rochdale borough postcode area. A total £11.46m had been spent by the end of June 2013, representing 12.8% of the total construction package spend by value.
Supporting community use of schools
We requested information from the completed mainstream schools (Hollingworth Academy, Siddal Moor Sports College, Matthew Moss High School, Cardinal Langley RC High School) to assess the level to which they believe that the facilities delivered through the BSF programme have increased community use within school. The responses received from these schools indicate that lettings are only just getting back to normal (pre-BSF) levels following the construction period, therefore we are proposing to keep this closely monitored for the next 12- month period.
4. Added Value
Highlights of Q1 2013 included:
Holy Family The site team supported a work experience and design competition for 4 Hopwood Hall College students, a 2-week work experience placement for a student from Redwood School, a work experience placement for a student from Kingsway Park
Middleton Tech The site team supported a graduate student with the design of an outdoor play area for the “Twinkle Toes” nursery which is adjacent to the site. Materials and resource were donated by Carillion for this mini-project
Wardle The site team provided work experience for 4 Hopwood Hall College students and 3 undergraduates from Leeds University, as well as a work experience placement for a Year 10 Kingsway School placement. Wardle High students visited the Carillion Training Services training centre in Salford to get an understanding of masonry and joinery skills.
St Cuthbert’s
Page 4 of 5 Carillion and the LEP supported a series of workshops for Year 4 primary school students, involving a carousel of activities relating to the new build. Staff from the LEP team and Carillion site teams delivered the workshop activities over 4 days.
