Seeley Copse

Thakeham has mobilised and partnered with contractors throughout the South East to deliver a new purpose-built ecological hub and study centre on the Goodwood Estate in Chichester, West Sussex. The Seeley Copse Study Centre will be the region’s most exciting environmental resource of a lifetime. The centre will reach many more local young people, including under privileged families and people with disabilities.

£4 million School to Open this Year
