Inclusive Learning Hubs provide a fast, quality option for a new revenue stream.
TG Escapes, through extensive research, and in collaboration with Haverstock Architects and The Blue Iris Partnership, have designed innovative SEND “Inclusive Learning Hubs” using a modular timber frame system which offer an agile, practical solution to address both the growing demand and perception of build-quality.
The escalating shortage of SEND and SEMH provision across the UK has reached a critical point, leaving many parents and independent schools deeply concerned and struggling to meet the urgent needs of vulnerable children. ‘Modern Methods of Construction’ are well understood to be a quick and cost-effective way to provide educational buildings. However, there are many misconceptions about the suitability of modular construction for students with additional needs – specifically their robustness, acoustics or lack of design flexibility.
The 16-place and 32-place designs meet the exacting requirements of SEND provision for robustness, fire safety, acoustics and sustainability, whilst being adaptable for the ever more complex needs being encountered by specialist teaching staff.
Each hub is organised around a central activity area, with classrooms designed to offer children and young people a choice of spaces, both inside and outside, where they can retreat to optimise their learning and sensory comfort.
This element of choice allows students to find environments that best meet their needs, fostering emotional regulation and creating a supportive atmosphere. Additionally, the options of therapy, sensory, and meeting spaces provide multi-disciplinary teams with a high-quality environment where they can effectively collaborate and support their work with children.
Every Independent School setting is unique so TG Escapes experienced team will provide free bespoke designs that are tailored to each client’s specific needs, including a variety of spaces which can be used to support students with a range of needs including ASD, ADHD, MSI, and SEMH.
Importantly, a net-zero 32 place hub, including secure outdoor spaces, can be completed in as little as 30 weeks onsite at a one-off cost of £70,000 per student. Given the projected volatility of the independent sector, a feasibility study by school leaders for such an enterprise on their site presents an outstanding opportunity to gain positive PR and to cultivate a reliable source of additional revenue, thereby enhancing longer-term fiscal sustainability.
