Stakeholders including students and staff, representatives of The Sea View Trust and the Department for Education (DfE) gathered at the site for the soon to be new purpose built special educational school to mark the commencement of construction.
Date
As part of the DfE’s School Rebuilding Programme and working closely with construction partner Tilbury Douglas the design for the new two-storey facility will be a purpose-built learning environment to cater for the diverse needs of Applebee Wood’s students. The design features three distinct wings centred around a core administration and therapy hub with significant outdoor provisions including a new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA), playing pitch, all-weather track, forest school habitat and vegetable allotment supporting outdoor education.
This scheme follows Applebee Wood School’s recent integration into The Sea View Trust Multi Academy Trust. The project represents a substantial investment designed to replace existing facilities with a modern, purpose-built environment for up to 168 students and staff.
