REDS10, one of the leaders in industrialised construction, has been appointed by the Department for Education (DfE) to deliver Angel Hill School, a new, purpose built school for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) in Sutton, South London.
The £20 million-plus project will create a modern, inclusive education facility for 96 pupils aged 11-19, specialising in supporting young people with autism. The new school, designed by HLM Architects and delivered in partnership with Sutton Council and the Greenshaw Learning Trust, will provide a nurturing environment tailored to SEND students, helping to address the growing demand for specialist school places in the borough.
Construction will use Reds10’s advanced volumetric modular methods, with 85% of the building pre-manufactured offsite at Reds10’s advanced construction facility in Driffield, East Yorkshire, to ensure quality, consistency, and minimal disruption to the local community. Work began on site in October, with the school set to open its doors to pupils in September 2027.
Reds10 has partnered with Driffield School and Sixth Form and The Talent Foundry, a UK charity dedicated to improving social mobility for young people, to support the introduction of the Construction T Level into the school’s curriculum as an alternative to A Levels for young people in Driffield and East Riding. The two-year immersive programme launched this month, with the official T Level course set to begin in October 2027. It is designed to create sustainable pathways into construction careers for local young people, helping to tackle the UK’s construction skills shortage. The programme will mainly be conducted at the school, with industry visits and work experience hosted at Reds10 giving students direct exposure to real-world industrialised construction environments.
