Struggling to meet the growing demand for SEND environments, Charville Academy sought a solution to accommodate students with additional needs.

Embracing the opportunity to create a more inclusive educational environment, Haverstock created ‘The Hub’,  specifically designed to accommodate 16 children with autism, offering them a tailored environment that caters to their specific needs.
