Allen Edwards Primary School approached TG Escapes in 2021 with the ambition to enhance their Special Educational Needs (SEN) 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.
TG Escapes has completed a SEND unit at Stepgates Community School in Chertsey, Surrey, supporting students with complex social and communication needs in partnership with Surrey County Council.
TG Escapes are supporting SEND providers across the UK suffering from a shortage of places by designing flexible, attractive 16 and 32-place Inclusive Learning Hubs. In partnership with SEND specialist architects Haverstock, The Blue Iris Partnership, and Terra Firma Landscape Architects, we have crafted schemes that can meet the unique needs of many different settings.
Beacon Hill School serves students with high-dependency Special Educational Needs and Profound and Multiple Learning Disabilities. The brief from Newcastle City Council was to create a bespoke, stand-alone facility capable of accommodating 60 pupils.
Surrey County Council have an increasing need for SEND places and wanted to create additional provision for Visually Impaired students at Woking High School. TG Escapes provided them with a purpose-designed solution including 3 classrooms, breakout spaces, offices and toilets increasing capacity for 11-16 year olds from 12 to 20. The hub will also be used for additional teaching space for the main school. Completed onsite in 22 weeks the building is net-zero in operation.
