Rebuilding Hope: A Tale of Resilience and Recovery

In the wake of adversity, the spirit of community shines brightest. At SS Simon & Jude CE Primary School in Great Lever, Bolton, a devastating fire threatened to dim the futures of 554 bright young minds. But from the ashes emerged a remarkable story of resilience and renewal.

​Portable Offices were proud to provide a suitable and timely solution, answering the call for swift action. Our mission: to restore not just buildings, but the very heartbeat of education within the local community. With urgency and unwavering determination, we embarked on a journey to create an education village that would serve as a testament to the power of unity in the face of adversity.

​In just five weeks, 73 buildings rose from the ground, a testament to the dedication and expertise of the team. From modular classrooms to essential facilities such as offices, toilets, and a canteen, every aspect was meticulously planned and executed with precision.

​But our work extended beyond the mere construction of structures. We became partners in the school's journey to recovery, working hand in hand with a team of around 30 individuals to ensure every detail was attended to with care. From rapid groundworks to the creation of a new access road, every challenge was met head-on, with a comined commitment to excellence that never wavered.

​The result? A thriving education village, born from the ashes of tragedy, where students were once again pursuing their dreams and teachers were back in class inspiring after only 14 weeks. But more than bricks and mortar, it stands as a testament to the power of resilience, community, and the unwavering spirit of education.
