  • ‘Inclusive’ design, with attractive accessible school buildings, can empower children and young people with SEN and disabilities.
  • Sensory awareness – the environment can have a significant impact on access. It means thinking carefully about acoustics, visual contrast, levels of stimuli and the use of colour, light, sound, and texture.
  • Sustainability – high quality sustainable design is crucial. It can affect social cohesion, ensure value for money and minimise the environmental impact of a school development.
  • Designing uplifting school spaces that are fully accessible for disabled children and those with SEN is an essential part of this community focus and fundamental to 21st century schools.
  • A stand-alone SEN ‘School Escape’ holds dear to many of the staff as a place to serve the specific needs of pupils, whilst keeping them integrated in wider social activity. The room is a multipurpose home base for high needs students and also serves as a quiet empathetic common room for interaction with other students.
  • The fundamental requirement for this space is to be a multipurpose learning room that caters for a range of high needs education, remedial and extra-needs learning.
  • The room is required to be a facility with it’s own independence, yet with strong link to the rest of the school. The room is to accommodate various learning methods. It is to be characterised as a place for intimate learning – academically and socially.
  • The SEN classroom serves as a primary learning base for those of high needs. It is to provide an environment in which the pupils feel personal comfort, security and belonging – place of familiarity in which learning occurs.
  • The classroom is a detached facility, a flexible open plan layout. Placement of furniture defines areas whilst maintaining constant internal flow.
  • The planning uses a strategy, to ensure a variety of spaces and ensure clear lines of sight through the building. Each area is arranged with its own internal orientation and exterior relationship to reflect different pedagogical activities. It is important that the activities taking place in each area do not impinge on each other.
  • This reaffirms the SEN classroom as neither an excluded nor exclusive facility, but rather a necessary alternative learning centre within the school. The inclusion of this building thus embodies the general principles of intermediate education, which is to stimulate social skills, practical skills and aid intellectual development.
  • Each construction is very specific to the schools needs; the classroom is designed for low environmental impact on the site. Focused learning centres can encourage students at all academic skill levels to interact socially and work together. Our designs can incorporate Sensory learning spaces and work stations
  • Our Classrooms designs allow special needs children to learn at their own developmental stage. They also encourage all students to work together, help each other, and enhance their academic abilities in preparation for the tougher learning requirements to come.
