The building will mean that children with different educational needs can be taught together under one roof. It will comprise of a 100-place special school, Broadwater Farm Primary School and a children's centre.
What will the facilities offer? The new building will provide modern teaching spaces around a central shared zone including a hall, gym, library and hydrotherapy pool. Outside there will be an amphitheatre, sensory garden, pond and horticultural area, external teaching areas, hard and soft play areas and a multi-use games area.
What do the professionals think? Lorna Reith, Haringey's lead member for children and young people, says: "It's great to see this ambitious project coming to life. The new campus won't just give our young people a fantastic environment for learning, but will also form a central part of this community." Head teacher of Broadwater Farm Primary School Dawn Ferdinand adds: "It will be the new energy in the community that houses something for everyone to enjoy. It is great to be part of the future vision for Broadwater Farm."
