Funding from The Building Schools for the Future programme in Southwark has provided Spa School, a community special school for pupils with autism, with a fantastic new building for KS3 pupils. It houses eight new classrooms, including a science lab and a drama space. The funding has also provided a new garden and orchard for the school.
Simon Hughes MP was invited to cut the ribbon and say a few words at the official ceremony to mark the opening of the building on Monday, 10th October. He joined over one hundred friends of Spa School in thanking the planners, architects AOC, and builders Balfour Beattie for all their hard work.
Mr. Simon Eccles, headteacher of Spa School, said of the building, 'This is a lovely jewel of a building with many beautiful and interesting features, all specifically designed to meet the needs of young people with autism. The result for the school is bigger rooms, smaller class sizes, better facilities and more space.'
The celebrations were concluded with music by the popular children's group Kurumi Kidz.
