Sidmouth Infants School requirement for a two classroom extension presented Skinner with a series of challenges, due not only to the extremely tight timescales involved but also due to the fact that the school was occupied during much of the work. Facilities provided include the two classrooms themselves, disabled access and toilet facilities, external timber walkways and external works. The contract sum was £475,000.

“We now have two new classrooms, a decking area for outside play, storage cupboards, hanging space for coats and PE kits, children's toilets, a disabled toilet and a caretaker's room. The changes to the building are having a positive effect on teaching and learning and bring our school community together. The Skinner site manager, Alan Edwards, was approachable and helpful throughout the works and the building site was not intrusive in any way to the functioning of the school.”
