The new 130-place special school includes 15 classrooms alongside therapy spaces such as sensory and soft play. In addition, there is a large hall, a hydrotherapy pool and physiotherapy and medical rooms.

“St Christopher’s School has experienced significant growth over the last few years, and the new site will help ensure that there are sufficient spaces to meet local demand.
