Dowds completed the M&E contract Pavilion Pupil Referral Unit in Barnet. The Pavilion is the main Alternative Provision for Barnet, offering a range of educational programmes and services for up to 73 young people who are unable to attend mainstream schools for a variety of reasons including social, emotional, behavioural and medical difficulties.
The upgrade included more spacious and modern facilities such as science, art and technology workshops, an IT suite, space for music, drama and modern sports facilities for students and local sports clubs.
At the Whetstone base, they provide personalised education programmes for Key Stage 3 and 4 students who have been permanently excluded from school. They provide the young people with support and guidance to enable them to make the right choices, achieve their potential and look forward to future opportunities.
All students are provided with a 1-1 mentor who they meet with weekly. They also work with a variety of external agencies including CAMHS, Drugs and Alcohol Service, The Youth Offending Team and social care.
Working alongside Graham, Dowds completed the electrical & mechanical installations on time and within budget. Our design team played a huge part working very hard from concept through to completion, carefully consulting with the client on the detailed design to provide more spacious and modern facilities for the school.
