We are excited to celebrate and mark the official groundbreaking of the new state-of-the-art Applebee Wood School in Preston, a major milestone in the delivery of a modern specialist education environment for the community. Construction has now commenced on the transformative new facility, led by Tilbury Douglas as part of the Department for Education’s School Rebuilding Programme.
The redevelopment will provide a purpose-built two-storey school designed to meet complex educational needs, incorporating three distinct wings arranged around a core administration and therapy hub. The scheme will create a contemporary, inclusive environment for up to 168 students and staff, replacing aging facilities with a setting that supports both learning and wellbeing.
As architects for the project, we look forward to supporting the next stages of delivery alongside Tilbury Douglas, the Department for Education, The Sea View Trust and the wider consultant team as we bring this community asset to life.
