We're proud to have worked with Sunderland City Council and Together for Children to secure a future for our former Washington campus that will benefit children and young people across the city!🫱🏻‍🫲🏼

The site's proposed transformation into an expanded home for Barbara Priestman Academy would create much-needed additional SEND provision, helping more young people access the specialist support and learning environments they need to thrive.

Due to ongoing construction work to the Sheepfolds Neighbourhood, access to HICSA will be affected.

As regeneration work continues across Riverside Sunderland, two temporary car parks will close to allow essential infrastructure works to get underway:

📍 The triangular car park at Hay Street/Easington Street
📍 The car park next to St Peter’s Metro Station

Travelling to HICSA by car or arriving on foot from St Peter’s Metro Station? You’ll need to access the area via North Bridge Street and Millennium Way, or Kier Hardie Way and Millennium Way.

Please plan your journey in advance and allow a little extra time for your travels - the closures are expected to remain in place beyond 2027.
