This project provides a range of new facilities within an existing SEN school site for both ambulant and non-ambulant pupils with special needs including visual and hearing impairments, MLD and ASD.
Replacement of a number of existing facilities are now housed in a new two-storey standalone teaching block, a new four-court sports hall including changing facilities and large scale demolition and refurbishment of an existing teaching block. In order to minimise disruption to the existing school, works were designed to be able to be delivered in a series of phases.
Our proposal looked to respond to the specific requirements adopted by the school in relation to teaching and pedagogy which includes the ability to teach via VAK (visual, auditory, kinaesthetic) and allows for movement breaks within each classroom. A number of ‘thematic’ classrooms have been designed in a 'suite’, each with direct access to an individual learning room, providing flexibility within the learning environments to respond to each pupils particular needs at any one time.
