Introduction
At Chelmsford New Model Special School – now called Columbus School and College – a new College Campus for 14-19 year olds will be built on the site of St John Payne School and refurbishment and rebuilding on the Woodlands site will provide a School Campus for the 3-14 age group.
‘The development of our current Woodlands Campus and the construction of a new College Campus at St John Payne will have the facilities we have always wanted for our children and their families. Large classrooms with adjoining bathroom, study and play facilities together with therapy provision will give all our learners access to the resources they need. We are delighted that Essex has had the foresight and courage to place special educational needs so high on the agenda and we are working closely with all our Essex colleagues to ensure that we make the most of this wonderful, once in a lifetime opportunity. The BSF project offers us a wonderful opportunity to transform the educational experience for the children and young people we serve.” Malcolm Reeve, Chief Executive. |
