Waltham Forest Schools
The Challenge
In 2008, Bouygues Energies & Services began a 25-year PFI contract with Waltham Forest Schools (WFS). We provide Total Facilities Management and lifecycle services to the Frederick Bremer School and Hard Facilities Management to the Queens Road School in Waltham Forest, North East London. Frederick Bremer is part of the ‘Building Schools of the Future’ programme for the London Borough of Waltham Forest that brought together Aveling Park School and Warwick Boys School. The School is built on the former Hawker Siddeley factory site, providing state of the art facilities for the pupils and community.

Our solution
Our contract with the client includes furniture, fixtures & equipment (FF&E), providing WFS with adequate resources for their staff and pupils.
We proposed the introduction and management of leasing the school during term time, at weekends, in the evenings, and outside of term time. This has been a huge benefit for WFS as it has provided additional budget for school resources.
We have helped WFS achieve their biodiversity targets by implementing various initiatives such as planting pollen and nectar plants that help biodiversity in the pond area of the playground, and providing 900 reusable water bottles for students to assist in our ‘reduce plastic’ initiative.

We have various solutions in place to help the schools to be more energy efficient, including a programme of works to replace the lighting with LED energy- efficient panels and downlighters.
