‘Having toured the Seashell site, I was thoroughly inspired by the hard work, dedication and passion of the team and by the hugely impressive new residential development and the ambitious plans for the school for the future. What was most memorable of all was to see the children and young people thriving in their new homes. The difference that we can make by bringing the school up to the same high standards as the accommodation will be a real game changer and will give the children and young people what they deserve – the ability for fulfil their potential in a safe, stimulating, purpose built environment.’
