Morgan Sindall Construction has completed work on a comprehensive refurbishment and expansion project at Ramsden Hall Academy in Billericay, Essex in UK. The transformational project was delivered by the main contractor for the Department for Education and is managed by the Multi-Academy Trust, Parallel Learning Trust, whose mission is to build cultures of ambition for pupils from all backgrounds. Through this project, the Trust aims to contribute to a vibrant population of thinkers, voters, and entrepreneurs, especially within those groups historically excluded by deprivation and low attainment.Works included the construction of a brand new three-storey residential block which will provide beds for 40 students, bolstering the academy’s ability to develop the pupil’s independent living skills.Alongside the residential area, Morgan Sindall Construction delivered an extension to the existing teaching block, creating seven new classrooms, seven new withdrawal rooms, a learning resource centre, main assembly hall, dining hall, conference room and four new special educational needs (SEN) therapy rooms.Externally, a therapeutic sensory garden space has been created, with a mix of plants and trees that promote biodiversity and create an inspiring environment for the students to work, socialise, relax, and feel safe.Given the academy’s remote, wooded setting, the site team took significant steps to ensure the preservation of the local nature and wildlife, working closely with ecologists and carrying out extensive surveys and an archaeological dig where appropriate.Ramsden Hall Academy works with up to 100 secondary-age and Year 6 male students who have an Educational Health Care Plan for Social Emotional and Mental Health needs.
