Kestrel Way - Secondary SEN School

About the project

Kestrel Way - Secondary SEN School, is located in Luton.

The project is a new school which will provide an outstanding educational facility, creating an environment where pupils can thrive and their wellbeing is prioritised.

The school is to educate up to 112 pupils across 14 teaching classrooms, to meet the borough’s increased demands for SEN provisions. Specialist provisions include a hydrotherapy pool, support rooms and external play areas. The design also incorporates the option for a further phase including provision for a 4-bed respite centre (if required in the future).

There will be a dedicated site entrance and exit with Kestrel Way, where a semi-circular internal parking design also provides an internal drop of area for the dedicated school buses. To the rear of the school, there are dedicated external play areas which provide open play space, specialist play equipment and areas for outdoor learning and activities.

The proposed building will extend to a maximum of two stories where the wings are kept at a single storey level, with a double storey height multi-purpose hall in the centre.
