Award-winning residential developer London Square hosted over 30 pupils from Year Five at Collis Primary School for a site visit at its London Square Teddington new homes development last week (Thursday 16 July 2015). The development, situated on Waldegrave Road, is a 15 minute walk away from the school*.
The pupils, aged nine to 10, received a Health & Safety induction and donned high visibility jackets and hard hats before they set foot on the building site to see the dramatic transformation taking place behind the development’s hoarding. The London Square construction team taught the children about the hazards they should look out for around heavy machinery and there was even a chance for the pupils to have a go at building their own mini brick wall.
Andy Maciejewski, Construction Director at London Square, said: “Site safety is of paramount importance to us at London Square and it is crucial that children living and going to school near building sites are aware of the dangers from a young age. Construction at London Square Teddington is progressing very well and the visit offered the children a great hands-on opportunity to get involved and see how the site is being transformed into a fantastic development in an outstanding setting.”
Jane Way, Headteacher at Collis Primary School in Teddington, said: “The children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and were delighted to be invited.”
London Square are transforming the site on Waldegrave Road into a smart, traditional residential square of just eight one, two and three bedroom apartments and 18 four bedroom houses.
