Client
The Education Partnership Trust
Our third SEN school for The Education Partnership Trust portfolio is their most ambitious yet and demonstrates their commitment to providing a bespoke approach to teaching tailored to the headteacher’s vision.
The School is situated on green-belt land between the M65 and Burnley’s inner suburbs. Its shallow L-shaped plan maximises the benefits of natural light and ventilation. 3D noise modelling was used during the design stages to ensure the building protects the external play spaces from motorway noise.
Its layout provides a clear separation between primary and secondary school children, with a series of shared spaces for assembly, sports, and dining. 
Secondary school children are given a traditional approach to Science, Arts and Media teaching, supported by vocational courses in construction, catering, hair and beauty.
