Oliver tours new Hertswood Academy school building

Oliver Dowden MP visits Hertswood Academy

Oliver visited the new state of the art school building under construction at Hertswood Academy, Borehamwood.

Oliver had a full tour of the site, accompanied by the Headmaster, Peter Gillett and the chief engineer, Steven Yanusauskas.

Speaking after the visit, Oliver said: ‘It was a pleasure to tour Hertswood Academy’s new school building, which is nearing its completion.

 I have championed the rebuilding of the School from the start and it has been a delight to see the plans come to life.

 I look forward to visiting again after the new school building opens to pupils in September.’

The building when finished will provide a new home for Hertswood Academy, all under one roof. It includes new smart classrooms, a sports hall, theatre and café. Construction is estimated to cost a total of £32million and is scheduled to be completed for the new 2019-2020 academic year.
