“Surveyors to Education (S2e) are nothing short of amazing! They are very supportive; they communicate consistently well and remove a lot of the stress of managing a big project. They have been both the designer and the school’s representative through the process and they really want to ensure we understand what is going on at each step of the process.”

The government has announced a £740 million fund to help mainstream schools adapt so that they can provide places for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). The initiative aims to alleviate the overwhelming demand for places in state special schools by enabling more children with SEND to stay in mainstream schools closer to home.

Last month the government launched the School-Based Nursery Capital Grant which is a one-time grant available for eligible state-funded primary schools.
