Southwark council has appointed Cullinan Studio to deliver a new therapy-focused primary school for pupils with high social, emotional and mental-health needs.

The practice will create a new 56-pupil home for Beormund Primary School on the site of the former Bellenden School in Peckham. Beormund is currently based in the Borough area but the council is looking to redevelop the site with a scheme that includes around 100 new homes. 

Cullinan Studio said Beormund’s pupils are taught in small classes of no more than eight, with teachers looking to deliver the national curriculum alongside other learning styles and support provided by a team of therapists.
