Ridge and Partners tells the AJ how it designed a newly approved school for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in Liverpool

Given the green light by Liverpool City Council last month (27 January), the project will create a new building for Princes School, bringing together pupils that are currently spread across four different sites in the city.

The council had already approved £37 million [$50M] for the new facility, which will become one of the largest schools of its kind in the country, housing 250 students to help meet growing demand for SEND places. . . .
