Wiltshire Council<\/a> has appointed Willmott Dixon<\/a> to build a school that will provide up to 400 places for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND)<\/h2>\n

The \u00a333m investment will provide state-of-the-art learning facilities for SEND pupils in north Wiltshire by bringing Larkrise, St Nicholas and Rowdeford schools together as one maintained school over three sites.<\/p>\n

The schools will combine from 1 September.<\/p>\n

Willmott Dixon will work with Wiltshire Council to prepare the project to start on-site, with a focus to maximise employment and training opportunities within Wiltshire during construction and ensure the use of local supply chains to support the economy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Procured via the SCF framework<\/h3>\n

Willmott Dixon will oversee work to build a school on the Rowdeford site that provides up to 400 places for SEND pupils aged from early years to post-16, with work scheduled to start in summer 2021 and complete by September 2023.<\/p>\n

The new facilities will operate as a ‘school within a school’, involving a community of small teaching clusters that will provide a range of specialist teaching spaces, therapeutic support, and quiet dining.<\/p>\n

Each cluster will be designed to offer plenty of space to move around while maximising natural daylighting and ventilation to create an airy feel. The clusters will be designed as a standalone school provision for early years, primary, secondary and post-16.<\/p>\n

There will be a hydrotherapy pool and outdoor learning provision. The new facilities both internally and externally will be fully accessible for all pupils at the school.<\/p>\n

Involving the pupils in the design<\/h3>\n

Councillor Pauline Church, cabinet member for children, education and skills, said: \u201cThis is a major step forward in ensuring we have sufficient places for all our SEND children in the north of Wiltshire.<\/p>\n

“The involvement of children from all three sites and the wider school community was included in the contract as their views are important to us.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe work will create a number of new classrooms, areas and facilities which will really complement learning.<\/p>\n

“We are looking forward to continuing to work closely with the school community across all three sites and involving the children in the design as we move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Richard Poulter, Willmott Dixon managing director for the Central South region, added: \u201cWillmott Dixon has a long-established track record of working in Wiltshire, which includes building Wiltshire College Chippenham Campus recently.<\/p>\n

“We are also well equipped to build during Covid-19 having adjusted our projects to meet the Site Operating Procedures<\/a> to ensure social distancing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are proud to be involved in providing these facilities to provide SEND pupils with the very best environment to learn and develop.\u201d<\/p>\n
