Wickham Lane SEN School is located in a predominately semi-suburban residential area, located at the junction of Wickham Lane and Kings Way, SE2 0XX. It is a three storey late 19^th century school building with a 1940’s extension of brick construction which has always functioned as a school and subsequently been used as decant location for other school constructions in the last 10 years. It is not a listed building and does not lie within a Conservation Area. Following the proposed works, the building will accommodate the secondary school pupils of Willow Dene Primary providing spaces for special education needs (SEN) pupils aged 11-16 with complex needs. The building will also accommodate the relocation of the Borough’s Professional Development Centre (PDC), providing access and resources for the continuing professional development for Royal Borough of Greenwich and all school staff.

The building will be completely refurbished and reconfigured to suit the requirements of both the PDC and the SEN school. The existing electrical and mechanical services are to be upgraded as well as the existing thermal elements to meet current building regulations. An enabling works package comprising a full strip out has been completed to leave the building ready for refurbishment.

Works include new access to the 1^st floor for the PDC via a new lift accessed internally from the ground floor. Step free access is required to all floors of the SEN School; with the proposed new lift constructed on the façade of the south elevation. The proposed construction of the new lift shaft to the face of the building presents the opportunity to insulate externally improving the building’s energy efficiency and incorporate a glazed curtain wall strip to allow for natural daylighting.

External works include the provision of step free ramped access to both the building and the playground. The existing playground is to be refurbished to meet BB012 guidelines by providing new landscaped zones, sensory learning spaces and mobility training.
