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 TechnologySchool and Matthew Moss.
As at 30 June 2013, the Rochdale BSF programme had achieved a full 12 months withno lost-time accidents and 16 months RIDDOR-free. This was an excellent achievementbearing in mind that this covered 11 different construction sites and a considerablenumber of man hours worked.
2 sites were presented with National Bronze Awards under the Considerate ConstructorsScheme (Holy Family, Middleton Tech).

As at the end of June 2013, there were five secondary school sites in construction (Holy FamilyRC & CE College; Middleton Technology School; Falinge Park High School; Wardle HighSchool and St Cuthbert’s RC High School). Post-completion and contract variation works werealso 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 usedto measure the quality of completed work phases going forward:
Quality score Description Examples of defects classification
Failure of a structural member resulting in areasunavailable to use
0 – 3 Major Defects
Mains power, services outage or major pipe leak resulting

in areas unavailable to use
Fire in mechanical / electrical equipment due to equipmentfault
Failure of the fire alarm system resulting in large areaswithout protection
Failure of ICT system throughout the school
Note : where defects are as for category 5 – 6, cumulative effect or prolonged duration couldcause to move down a category
Water penetration through windows, doors or roof resultingin leaks or drips
Failures in ironmongery fittings (e.g. loose handles, faultylocks and bolts, hinges) which affects the operation ofcritical doors or windows (e.g. fire doors)
Heating faults resulting in excessive heat or cold withinrooms for a sustained period of time
Minor faults resulting in intermittent false alarms affectinglife safety systems (e.g. fire or security systems)
5 – 6 Some withimpact onclient
Failure of ICT system in one area of the school
Note : where defects are as for category 8 – 9, cumulative effect or prolonged duration couldcause to move down a category
Failure of isolated electrical fittings – e.g. light switch,power socket, data point

Failed parts to user equipment, e.g. soap dispenser, WC,taps, hand driers, PA system, loose furniture items
Noise from localised plant or equipment
Deterioration of finished surface quality, e.g. paint andvarnish blemish, loose tiles, external render etc.
8 – 9 Some defectsbut notsignificant
Failure of ICT device (e.g. interactive whiteboard) causingdisruption to teaching and learning in one room
10 Defect free
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 outat 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 ofcombined careers and wider curriculum support to schools and the local authority, bringing ourcumulative total to 86 work placements and 4,061 hours of careers and curriculum supportrespectively.
Health & Safety

Page 4 of 5
There were no reportable accidents occurred during the reporting period. 2 schemes receivedConsiderate Constructors Scheme monitoring visits, achieving the following scores (each scoreis out of a maximum 50):
Midd Tech – 44Holy Family - 43
We believe that these scores remain amongst the highest nationally under the new CCS scoringregime.
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 teamsto 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 constructionpackage 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) toassess the level to which they believe that the facilities delivered through the BSF programmehave increased community use within school. The responses received from these schoolsindicate that lettings are only just getting back to normal (pre-BSF) levels following theconstruction 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 FamilyThe site team supported a work experience and design competition for 4 Hopwood Hall Collegestudents, a 2-week work experience placement for a student from Redwood School, a workexperience placement for a student from Kingsway Park
Middleton TechThe 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 byCarillion for this mini-project
