This 4 storey new build SEN school for Croydon Borough Council was developed to accommodate the growing need for additional ASD SEN school placements in the Croydon area. The scheme began as an extension to the existing 2 FE school accommodation but expanded into a brand new facility for twice the number of pupils as the school was originally able to cater for.
The project was developed and built on a challenging site whilst the existing school was still operational and occupied and allowed for the demolition of the existing buildings and landscaping of the site whilst the new building was occupied.

The design team and site team created a strong relationship with the school during the feasibility stage and maintained it throughout the build, so the client knew what to expect at every stage of the process and who to contact, every effort was taken to create minimal disruption to the clients’ daily operations and to explain procedures to the client base. The project was delivered on time and on budget to the client, and defect free. The school has received very positive feedback from the users and visitors alike.
