Project Summary
We seek to engage a multi-disciplinary technical team to design alterations to the former Jack Taylor School to accommodate a Further Education College for young people aged 16-25 with severe and complex needs (PMLD, SLD and Autism).
The delivery of the construction works will be tendered via a traditional form of contract.
It is intended that the new provision will be open from September 2015.
Following an outline feasibility study, the Jack Taylor school site has been identified as the best site across the two boroughs to locate the new provision. Jack Taylor was a special school which closed at the end of the summer term 2012 with pupils transferring to the newly built Swiss Cottage School. It accommodated 57 pupils with severe and complex needs.
The new provision will provide a ‘hub' where learners can socialise and learn new skills that can be applied in the community, so that learning takes place both in the service and at likely destinations for these young people. There will be clear pathways to employment or training and the provider will establish and maintain strong links with social enterprise and local business. This will ensure that a significant part of learning is community based and occurs at the destination where these skills will be utilised.
The new site will also include up to nine residential units to be used as part of a programme to develop independent or semi-independent living skills. These units will also allow as many families as possible to benefit from respite and thereby reduce the risk of family breakdown.
The college support and therapeutic staff will work intensively on developing and enhancing the independent living skills of young people with severe and complex needs and for the provision to be in line with the best of non-maintained provision found elsewhere. This will include providing an environment where young people with severe and complex needs can maximise all available life chances.
Jack Taylor School is situated in the heart of Alexandra Estate and
was a facility that was integral to the design and construction of
this well known housing estate. Designed by the London Borough
of Camden's architects department and constructed
during the period between 1969 and 1979, the Alexandra Estate
features a high density of residential units, a community centre, a youth club
and a school for SEN students (Jack Taylor School).
The building is currently being used, temporarily, as a site for SEN secondary
students from the Camden Centre for Learning, while their
buildings are being remodelled and extended.
Recently, English Heritage was asked to assess the former Jack Taylor school, which lies within the Alexandra Road Estate Conservation
Area, for listing. The former Jack Taylor school was awarded Listed Building Status on 8 July 2013. The school was added to the List of Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest and listed at Grade II.
