Sunderland City Council Children, Learning and Skills cabinet member Louise Farthing said: “All of our children and students always deserve the very best education, the very best facilities and as a City Council we’ve always been committed to ensuring this.

“The new build here at Sunningdale is another example of our continuing programme to update and provide the very best for all young people.

“Commissioned by the City Council’s Neighbourhood’s Directorate and designed in-house under the direction of the Capital Projects Team, we look forward to working with Kier on these new facilities for children with severe learning and physical difficulties.”
