Post 16 SEND provision for Sir Charles Parsons School

Sir Charles Parsons is a school for young people aged eleven to nineteen who have a range of additional needs. This is the 2nd building TG Escapes has provided. The pressure on pupil numbers of all ages across Newcastle City was high so more space was needed in the main building. The solution was to create extra accommodation near to the first building to form a separate post-16 facility covering the complete curriculum. This second net-zero modular building provides four classrooms as well as ancillary spaces and achieves an A+ EPC at -31. Staff and students have kindly made a video about what their building means to them.

Working with customers at different budgets

TG Escapes uses a panelised modular system that affords us a huge degree of customisation in each building we produce. Because of this we can work with clients to provide the space they need within their budget. We can also create buildings designed to be expanded over time, with additional sections constructed over several years, while remaining an attractive, usable space throughout.

The clients we work with across the UK

Our team can create just about any building you need, allowing us to work across several industries. While we predominantly work within the education sector, our design approach is fantastic for commercial, office, or leisure spaces too. We manufacture buildings of excellent quality, with faster turnarounds and build times compared to traditional construction methods.

How much do our modular school buildings cost?

We have produced hundreds of modular education spaces across the UK, ranging in building size from single standalone classrooms to larger school blocks with multiple rooms including kitchens and offices.

Every aspect of your building will be costed and agreed upon before work starts, with costs ranging dependant on size, complexity, and features. We’ll prioritise access to nature, our biophilic design principles, and net zero considerations in all our educational spaces, creating uplifting and focused classrooms for students.

We also prioritise environmental and social commitments, working to encourage biodiversity around our sites and employing members of the local community for our building projects. See some of our recent projects including their prices on our case studies page.

What makes TG Escapes different?

We’ve established ourselves within the modular building industry through several key factors, from our award-winning buildings to our upfront design and construction costs and our environmental commitments:

 

  • All-in-one costs: We’ll price everything in an upfront quote from design and building to UK delivery and installation, including site preparation. This will be the price you pay, with no surprises.
  • Biophilic design principles: Biophilic designs work to incorporate natural elements, healthy air quality, natural light, and access to the outdoors into a building. These elements can offer huge advantages in use compared to conventional construction.
  • Net zero: We design our buildings to be net zero in operation as standard, ensuring they are energy efficient and sustainable throughout their 50+ year lifespan.
  • Bespoke in-house design: We have a team of designers and architects in-house who will work on a design that is wholly bespoke to your needs.
  • Free design service: Our team can create a costed design for you for free, simply contact our team to discuss what you’re looking for.
