involved in the
creation of a brand
new primary school in
Leicestershire.
The construction of the new
Fossebrook Primary School was
completed in mid-July ready

developed by Leicestershire
County Council to provide an
additional school for earlyyear students in the area, and
is sponsored by the Discovery
Schools Academy Trust.
The school was designed by
Cornwall-based Kast Architects
and MeiLoci landscape
architects, who specified

informal demarcated area for

Bituchem’s materials.
Natratex is Bituchem’s flagship
product and has been used for
various applications in schools
due to its modern aesthetics
and safety benefits.
