The Clacton schools project involved the alteration and refurbishment of both Clacton County High School and Colbayns High School and the construction of a brand new, 900 place facility to be named Bishop’s Park College. The schools were also remodelled as Joint Services Centres, which involved providing additional facilities such as cyber cafés, nurseries and sporting facilities that could be used by residents outside school hours, making the schools a more integral part of the community.
