GALLERY – New £7.8m teaching block opened at school’s fun day

The Tulip Academy’s annual Family Fun Day was extra special this year as its new teaching block was officially opened.

Pupils from both of its sites gathered at the Waterside Campus to enjoy a host of fun and games with their families invited.
And the new £7.8m building there was officially opened by Lincolnshire County Council’s executive member for children’s services Patricia Bradwell.
“The council wants to ensure that all children can access high-quality education, as near to their family and local community as possible. To help achieve that, we’re investing £100m in improving our special schools.
“Our ambitious programme will mean more pupils with SEND can attend a local school rather than having to travel large distances for their education, which will be of great benefit to both the children and their families.
“I’m confident that these fantastic new facilities at Tulip Academy will make a real difference to the pupils there, both now and in the future.”
Peter Bell, CEO of the Community Inclusive Trust, which runs the school, added: “I would like to thank the county council for funding this project and committing a huge amount of time and resource into the delivery of such an amazing building. This new facility will have a significant and extremely positive impact on our pupils here.”
Matthew Bloodworth-Flatt, Headteacher at Tulip Academy Spalding – Waterside Campus, said: “We had a wonderful time celebrating the official opening of the new teaching block here at our Waterside Campus. The provision within this new building includes spacious classroom environments, additional learning spaces, life skills provision as well as sensory spaces.
“This new facility supports us to deliver the best possible education to young people in and around Spalding. Our gratitude goes to everyone involved in the project.”
