The project to add new provision for students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) at Hull’s Ganton School is complete, with the new facilities meaning the school can offer 20 more children from the area the chance to get specialist teaching provision.
The works involved the installation of a new modular building, in an area that was previously used for minibus parking.
Works involved the construction of a piled foundation system, plus a decked access area which featured both ramped and stepped access to ensure full accessibility. Landscaping works also help the new building blend seamlessly into its surroundings.
The majority of the work took place over the summer holidays, meaning the minimum of disruption for children and staff at the school.
Alec Young, Headteacher at Ganton School, says: “The development of two bespoke modular learning spaces will mean that Ganton School can offer 20 children in the area the opportunity to attend a specialist provision that will meet their needs, providing them with the chance to thrive both now and for years to come. The project is an excellent example of how good collaboration can result in real life outcomes for the most vulnerable children and young adults in our area.”
