The facility builds on the success of the Trust’s Spring Common Academy in Huntingdon.

Morgan Sindall Construction director Jamie Shearman said: “Like so many areas in the UK, SEND places are in high demand in Cambridgeshire. The Morgan Sindall team understands the importance of providing high-quality facilities that meet the educational needs of children, giving them the best chance in life.

“It is a privilege to be working alongside Cambridgeshire County Council and the Horizons Education Trust, as we collaborate on delivering an inspiring, state-of-the-art development for the benefit of the wider community.”

Meanwhile, the north-eastern team of Morgan Sindall Construction has commenced work on a new £12m training centre for workforce training provider TTE Technical, a part of the Middlesbrough College Group.

The new facility, which is located at Middlehaven, central Middlesbrough, is due to open in September 2024.

It will train more than 300 full-time students, 300 apprentices and 500 adults annually, alongside an international group of students.

The centre will provide more than 3,000m² of space over two storeys.

This project was awarded to the organisation through the Pagabo Medium Works Framework.
