## Resource

Construction has officially begun on Co-op Academy Smithies Moor in Heckmondwike, marking a transformative leap for local education. Replacing an outdated facility, this state-of-the-art primary school will feature collaborative classrooms, a forest school, net-zero carbon design with biosolar roofs, and enhanced outdoor spaces—all while keeping current students learning uninterrupted. Managed by Bowmer + Kirkland, the project is part of the government’s School Rebuilding Programme and aims to ignite curiosity, creativity, and ambition for generations to come.
