## Foxwood 2 Details And Project Team

The £32m project will be delivered on behalf of The White Hills Park Trust and Foxwood Academy, on the site of the former Bramcote Park School, which was subject to a major fire in September 2021 and has stood derelict for many years.

The building is designed by [Noviun Architects](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/02lqegx/noviun-limited) and project managed by [Gleeds](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/000b2co/gleeds-usa). It will include a separate adulthood preparation building to teach life skills, a gym and a café for the use of students and the public. Outside, there will be car parking spaces for staff, dedicated pick-up and drop-off spaces, a cycle track, a soft play area and outdoor gym equipment.

Richard Fielding, Area Director for Morgan Sindall Construction's Midlands Business, said: "Foxwood 2 will be an incredibly important resource for pupils with special educational needs and disabilities from Broxtowe and across Nottinghamshire. With ground officially broken this week, we're expecting our programme of works to continue until winter 2027, with new pupils starting in January 2028."

James Macdonald, Chief Operating Officer for The White Hills Park Trust, said: "Our Design and Build team, including Morgan Sindall, Noviun Architects and Gleeds have worked both imaginatively and creatively with us to design a new build that fits in with the local landscape and will deliver a school that meets the needs of local young people with SEND."
