Primary Care

Baxi has supported the heating refurbishment programmes of two primary schools.

Billesley Primary School and Highlees Primary School, both part of The Elliot Foundation Academies Trust (TEFAT), have successfully completed heating refurbishments that prioritise efficiency, reliability, and comfort for pupils and staff, helping to reduce energy waste and better manage operational costs. When the non-condensing, cast iron boilers serving both schools reached the end of their lifespan, TEFAT appointed M&E consultant Rider Levett Bucknall (RLB) to explore the most efficient options for delivering reliable heating and hot water.

At Billesley Primary School, RLB specified a solution based on modular condensing boilers to improve part-load efficiency and resilience. Baxi’s technical design team contributed site triage and specialist support, supplying six Quinta Ace 55 boilers for the building’s basement plant room, plus a Megaflo 300 l indirect hot water cylinder for the kitchen.

At Highlees Primary School, Baxi supplied three Remeha by Baxi Gas 120 Ace boilers on an off-site fabricated cascade. Working with RLB, the Baxi team prepared CAD and 3D drawings of the boiler cascade arrangement tailored to the design parameters and integrated specially sized pump sets and a plate heat exchanger (PHE) into the design.
