Summerdown SEN School
Welcome to the project page for the Summerdown SEN School project, which is being built by Morgan Sindall Construction.
Here you can read about the project and its positive effect on the community, and track progress as it happens.
Key facts
- Construction of a new build SEN school for 135 pupils with ASD and PMLD needs. The school is formed of steel frame construction and brick facades over single and double storey. Internal features include specialist classrooms, sensory room, soft playroom and Hydrotherapy pool. Externally we are providing a multi-use games area, external play equipment and a wildlife habitat learning space. This project will provide much needed specialist educational facilities for the local community.
- The project aim is to minimise the impact on the local community during the construction phase. Throughout the project we will be maintaining a low carbon footprint with the trialling of a variety of Eco fuels, electric plant and low environmentally impacting construction methods.
