Sept 30, 2025, Essex.gov: Work starts on new £6.6m [$8.9] SEND sixth form facility
Near London
Work has started to create a new sixth form college for Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND) students in South Benfleet.
Once complete, Glenwood Sixth Form will offer 40 new places for SEND students in the area.
The £6.6 million [$8.9M] project will see five classrooms, a dining space, catering training centre, meeting room, and specialised sensory rooms created. It will be an enriching environment for children with additional learning needs to enjoy.
We have appointed Morgan Sindall Construction as the contractor leading the project. On Friday 19 September, a groundbreaking event was held at the site. Invitees included council representatives, MP for Castlepoint, Rebecca Harris, and the Morgan Sindall project team.
The finished project is set to be complete in spring next year. . . .
“We’re hugely excited to see the project come to life and the positive impact it will have on the community.”
Ryan Liversage, Area Director for Morgan Sindall Construction in Essex, said: “We’re incredibly proud to break ground on the new Glenwood Sixth Form, which will provide a sustainable and inspiring environment for young people with additional needs. This project is about more than construction – it’s about creating spaces that will nurture learning, independence, and wellbeing, supporting SEN students for many years to come.”\
