SEND Schools
We have substantial experience in the delivery of SEN schools across the UK. Key to our success has been our early and collaborative approach with all stakeholders.
This approach is based on openness and using the experience of bid and delivery managers gained through similar projects. BIM technology is central to the process of developing efficient, risk-reduced and fully-costed designs alongside rapid project delivery and predictability. Innovaré understand the design approach and the detail design requirements for creating successful SEN(D) school facilities.

On every project, Innovaré is focused on delivering:
- Robustness against accidental damage.
- Structural capacity to support wall and roof hung equipment.
- Flexibility of layout for improved access and movement space.
- Clear spans for future adaptability.
- Optimised thermal comfort for health and wellbeing.
- Enhanced acoustics for reduced disturbance.
- Timber-based structure for environmental sustainability.
Designing learning environments that meet the diverse needs of SEND students
Incorporating the needs of individual school communities into the design calls for people with in-depth experience and knowledge.
Where we can help is with finding innovative, practical and cost-effective ways to deliver what specialists recommend. Successful project delivery depends on close collaboration between SEND specialists, architects and our design engineers from the outset of the project.

Case Studies
Over the years we have delivered multiple SEND school projects. Here are a couple of examples:
The Aspire School is a special, free school in Sittingbourne for children aged from 4 to 11 years.
- The new building uses the Innovaré i-SIP solution.
- Careful design consideration was given to promote engagement and wellbeing.
- Sustainability and energy efficiency goals were met.
The Red Kite Academy project involved the design and build construction of a new SEN primary school in Corby.
- Delivered two weeks ahead of schedule.
- Included a hydrotherapy centre, sensory suite and studio flat.
- 99% of waste from the scene was diverted from landfill.
