Deal to upgrade Shoreditch secondary has £13m price tag

Contractors have until 6 August to express interest in a £13m job to upgrade a London comprehensive whose former pupils include Tower 42 architect Richard Seifert and Spandau Ballet bassist Martin Kemp.

The Central Foundation Boys’ School, close to Old Street roundabout in Shoreditch, wants to renovate an existing building and build a new arts block under plans to increase pupil numbers at the 900 place school.
