20 May 2019 -Cleeve Meadow School
Work is firmly underway on the construction of the new Cleeve Meadow School in Sidcup for children with special educational needs. The new school will be designed to provide specialist education for 120 pupils aged 11-19 with moderate learning difficulties.
The new free school will have 12 teaching rooms, a therapeutic hub, large open plan library and IT space. Facilities will also include a specialist music department, performing arts center and a full-sized artificial football pitch that will also be available for Cleeve Park School pupils to use. Outside of school hours, the facilities will be available for community use. The building work scheduled to be complete by Spring 2020.
Built within the grounds of Cleeve Park School, Bexley Lane, the Ubu design landscape carefully knits the new school into the existing school site, to provide new hard play facilities with an external classroom, grass pitches, a growing area and habitat zone. In the broader school grounds additional parking has been provided.
