We are consulting you about a proposal to establish a specialist base for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) at Send C of E Primary School.

If the proposal was agreed, it would mean that a specialist base would be opened in January 2027 at Send C of E Primary School. It is proposed that there would be 28 places for pupils with autism from Year R to Year 6. All pupils on roll in the unit would have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

The specialist base is proposed to open in January 2027 with an initial intake of 16 pupils, increasing up to 20 places in September 2027, and reaching its final intended capacity of 28 places by September 2028.

The full proposal is outlined in the supporting documents below.

This is a public consultation, beginning on 22 June and will end on 20 July 2026. Your input and feedback are important in helping us to further understand the views of the children, parents/carers, staff and local community. We will also hold a public meeting for families, local communities and any other interested parties to discuss the proposal and get your input and feedback. This will be held at 18:30 at Send C of E Primary School on 2 July 2026. Anyone who wishes to attend is welcome at the meeting and you do not have to have a child at the school to do so.
