Preston Primary School, part of the Lingfield Education Trust, has a strong focus on providing an inclusive, high-quality education grounded in family values, partnership, and a child-centred approach to learning. As the school’s needs evolved, it became clear that an additional permanent building was required to support teaching provision, wrap-around care and for use as conference facilities.
This sports pavilion with changing rooms is a key element of the new community facilities, officially named The Arc, being developed by Homes England within Brookleigh at Burgess Hill. The new Centre for Outdoor Sports has been delivered by Mid Sussex District Council and their development partner Alliance Leisure, procured via the UK Leisure Framework (managed by Denbighshire Leisure Ltd). The wider project team also included The Sports Consultancy, AtkinsRealis, Hadron Consulting, S&C Slatters and White Horse Contracting.
Following the success of earlier projects across Surrey, TG Escapes were commissioned by Surrey County Council to deliver a new SEND provision at St Matthew’s Primary School in Redhill. The project forms part of the council’s wider capital investment programme to enhance specialist provision across the county.
To meet growing demand for specialist provision, the college required an additional facility that could accommodate learners who need hoisting or specialist physical support during the day – a need that could not be met within their existing buildings. The new space also supports the college’s goal to keep learners local, avoiding the need for costly out-of-county placements while maintaining connections to family and friends.
Allen Edwards Primary School approached TG Escapes in 2021 with the ambition to enhance their Special Educational Needs provision. Initially envisaged as a standalone double classroom, the project evolved into a more integrated and ambitious design that combined SEN teaching spaces with flexible facilities for therapy and community use.
