UK contractor Willmott Dixon has announced the topping out of Paddock School’s new expansion site, marking the completion of the highest point of the building structure. 

The school in Wandsworth, England, caters to children with severe learning difficulties.  

Upon its completion in September 2025, the school will offer more children in the borough and surrounding areas access to education in a purpose-built environment.  

This will enable them to stay closer to their homes, friends, and families, providing a much-needed resource for the community. 

Willmott Dixon South managing director Richard Poulter said: “We are proud to be part of this important project that will have a lasting positive impact on the lives of children with severe learning difficulties in Wandsworth.  

“This topping-out ceremony is a key milestone in our journey to build a facility that meets the highest standards of accessibility and quality.”

Paddock School executive headteacher Sarah Santos added: “The enhanced facilities in the new school will give the pupils even more opportunities for an outstanding education. We are excited to welcome the students here in the 2025/26 academic year.” 

Earlier this month, Willmott Dixon was appointed by Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council to construct a £15m ($20.03m) swimming pool complex in Eston, UK.  

This new facility, expected to be operational by early 2026, will be managed by Everyone Active and feature a 25m, six-lane swimming pool, with changing areas and a 150-seat spectator gallery.
