The project is being carried out for Oxfordshire County Council and is set for completion in the spring of 2015.
Work involves significant remodelling of the current school buildings 鈥� which date from the 1960s with some later accommodation built around 2000 鈥� to create new educational facilities.
Designed by Carillion Capita, the scheme includes new single-storey extensions to existing teaching blocks and construction of a new two-storey infill block linking the buildings. A number of existing buildings will be refurbished.
The Stepnell team will also replace old boilers with a new gas system and install solar photovoltaic panels on the roof.
Temporary classrooms will be brought in for use during construction. Stepnell contract manager Jamie White said: 鈥淭he company works extensively in this type of 鈥榣ive鈥� setting and our focus will be on enabling the school to continue to function as normal.鈥�
Stepnell got the job through its membership of Oxfordshire County Council鈥檚 construction partnership framework.
