Galliford Try's Building Southern business has been chosen by the London Borough of Havering to construct a new Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) school on Balgores Lane.
The project, commissioned in partnership with the Southern Construction Framework (SCF) and Playle and Partners, will provide 300 places for students aged 4 to 19, addressing the borough’s urgent need for SEND facilities.
Designed by Haverstock, the school aims to achieve a BREEAM Excellent rating and operate as a net-zero carbon facility. Construction is set to commence in October 2025.
Gavin Bridge, Managing Director for Galliford Try Building Southern, commented: "Our business has a strong track record in providing high-quality special educational needs and disability spaces across London and the South East. We recognise the urgency of providing local children with the tailored education they deserve and look forward to working with all the stakeholders involved at Balgores to create the very best facilities that help the school community deliver for the students."
