The building firm Wates Group won the contract to rebuild or remodel every secondary school in Luton.

In April 2010, the first section of phase two opened which included a Science 'Heart Space' with six laboratories leading off from it.

The space is used as a flexible teaching area and has new Apple Inc. iMacs, interactive whiteboards and a plasma TV.

In May 2010, the Adult Education facilities relocated from the existing building to its brand new area in the new school.

This saw the opening of Lea Manor's newly constructed entrance, dining facilities, community theatre, music studios and drama rooms.
