The plan includes both an extension to an existing building and the construction of an entirely new facility, resulting in an increased capacity from 114 to 196 students.<\/p>\n<p>The new 1,660-square-foot building will house eight new classrooms, a sports hall, a food tech classroom, a science lab, an art studio, physiotherapy facilities, a library, and office space for teaching staff.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/morgan-sindall-begins-work-state-of-the-art-uclan-veterinary-school\/131182\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Morgan Sindall<\/a> secured the project through the Essex Construction Framework 2 (ECF2), which aims to improve facilities in the area, such as emergency services, government institutions, and educational organisations.<\/p>\n<h3>Providing the best SEN facilities<\/h3>\n<p>The extension will help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.castledon.org\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Castledon School<\/a> cater to students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), moderate learning difficulties, and other special educational needs. It will feature state-of-the-art therapy and calming rooms.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe understand the specialist facilities required and the considerations that should be made when building these educational spaces. It\u2019s becoming more apparent that facilities like Castledon School are of great need in the community as we begin to understand the challenges and learning difficulties of young people with ASD,\u201d said Andrew Harper-Rowe, area director for Morgan Sindall.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe high demand for places at the school goes to show the importance of quality educational support, and we\u2019re thrilled to offer our expertise in ensuring more young people are given an opportunity to thrive,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Sindall will also redevelop the existing parking area, adding 19 regular parking spaces and two minibus spaces.<\/p>\n<h3>Morgan Sindall will manage carbon emissions released during construction<\/h3>\n<p>As part of its commitment to sustainable practices, Morgan Sindall will use its in-house CarboniCa carbon assessment tool to manage <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/energy-news\/morgan-sindall-appointed-lead-construction-carbon-neutral-school-wales\/125399\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">carbon emissions<\/a> during the project. The goal is to achieve a net-zero operational development.<\/p>\n<p>70% of the roofing will be equipped with photovoltaic (PV) panels, ensuring that the completed project operates with a net-zero carbon footprint.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are pleased with this development and much-needed investment. The specialist facilities are desperately needed to help further develop a broad and balanced provision,\u201d commented Simon Holliday, headteacher at Castledon School.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe remodelling will also alleviate pressure on existing facilities. We are grateful to Essex County Council&#8217;s education directorate for considering the need at Castledon following conversations which have taken place over the past three years,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mk-custom-module-container\">\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morgan Sindall Construction&#8217;s Essex division has been selected by Essex County Council (ECC) to redevelop Castledon School, a specialist educational needs (SEN) school.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[172731],"tags":[997,3649,685],"stakeholder_rel_tag":[],"contributor_rel_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-132872","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-projects","7":"tag-development","8":"tag-education","9":"tag-morgan-sindall"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.9 (Yoast SEO v26.9) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Morgan-Sindall-chosen-redevelop-Castledon-School-Essex<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Morgan Sindall has been selected by Essex County Council (ECC) to redevelop Castledon School, a specialist educational needs (SEN) school\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/projects\/morgan-sindall-chosen-to-redevelop-castledon-school-in-essex\/132872\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Morgan Sindall chosen to redevelop Castledon School in Essex\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Morgan Sindall Construction&#039;s Essex division has been selected by Essex County Council (ECC) to redevelop Castledon School, a specialist educational needs (SEN) school.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/projects\/morgan-sindall-chosen-to-redevelop-castledon-school-in-essex\/132872\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Planning, Building &amp;
