Sept 18, 2024, About Manchester: New Manchester high school for pupils with special educational needs reaches construction milestone
NW England
A significant milestone was reached this week in the construction of Orchard House, a brand-new £16m [$21M] special high school which is due to open in Miles Platting, Manchester next September.
A special beam-signing ceremony was held at the school to celebrate the completion of the building’s steel frame, with employees from main contractor ISG and the North West Construction Hub joining members of the city council and the Prospere Learning Trust on site to mark the event.
Once completed, Orchard House will cater for boys and girls with an Education, Health and Care Plan for significant additional needs, with space for 150 pupils aged between 11 and 19 years old.
The Prospere Learning Trust has been chosen to run the school and has worked with the project team as part of a collaborative design process to ensure teaching methodologies and aspirations are met through the building and its facilities provision. . . .
The scheme is also fully aligned with Manchester’s Low Carbon Strategy and designed to meet the stretching BREEAM ‘Excellent’ environmental target, creating an educational asset with long term operational and environmental performance.
