Abstract:		 Planning permission for the demolition of the John Bunyan Upper School and the construction of a new Bedford Academy together with sports pitches and associated parking and landscaping was granted by Bedford Borough Council. This programme initially comprised trial trenching which was followed by an area excavation at the site of the new building on open ground to the rear of the existing school in 2011. The final phase of works comprised the monitoring of the demolition of the existing school and the creation of a new car parking area and landscaping work in the same area. The majority of the groundworks associated with the construction of the car park and landscape features did not impact significantly below ground level. In most cases, the works involved building up of the ground level rather than excavating into it. The only work that required monitoring was the excavation of a series of tree planting pits. The deposits recorded in these pits confirmed a sequence of recent deposition of construction levelling material overlying buried topsoil and subsoil. The tree pit excavations also confirmed that there was potential for archaeological remains to be preserved beneath in-situ former topsoil and subsoil, although none were actually found. This was probably due to the limited size and number of these excavations rather than a true reflection of the archaeological potential of the site.
