Planning new school places

Special Education Needs Provision

The Council is proposing to create two new units at Loddon Primary School and Radstock Primary School to meet the needs of children with high levels of Special Education Needs. These are proposed to open in September 2024, each offering 3 places every year, with a planned final capacity of 21 places. If approved, they will meet the needs of children with Autism and associated needs.

Further information is set out on the appended PDF consultation notices. The four notices, two per school are a short notice with limited information and long notice setting out the case for each unit.

Please note that the proposals are unchanged from the proposals the school consulted on earlier this year. The purpose of this exercise is to extend the consultation to a wider range of interested parties and to comply with statutory requirements.

Any responses should be made by mid-day 12th July 2024.
