Beal High School was expanded from 8FE to 12FE (a total of 840 additional student places), making it one of the largest schools in Redbridge, East London.  The school campus was given new life with the addition of new general and specialised teaching spaces, a learning resource centre, an assembly hall, and sports hall.

 

The building was on Green Belt and CR1 Land, and required negotiations and approvals from the London Assembly and Sports England.

 

A new entrance off the A1400 Woodford Avenue (total of £1m) was negotiated and agreed with Transport for London (TfL).
