Proposal to develop a SEN unit within Flakefleet Primary School
| Purpose | This is a formal consultation about making a prescribed alteration to a school in accordance with The School Organisation (Prescribed Alterations to Maintained Schools) (England) Regulations 2013. We are seeking your views about a proposal to create a special educational needs (SEN) unit within Flakefleet Primary School. What are we planning to do? The proposal is to create an SEN unit for up to sixteen children with social communication and interaction needs at Flakefleet Primary School. All of these children will have education, health and care plans. Some of these children will transfer from another school to Flakefleet Primary School so that they can attend the SEN unit. Children attending the SEN unit may be taught in the unit for some of the time and at other times when appropriate they will be taught with other children in existing classes. All children already on roll at Flakefleet Primary School will still be able to attend the school and this change will not affect current admission criteria and numbers. Why are we doing this? To give families more choice about the type of school they would like their child to attend. Flakefleet Primary School is a 'Good' school (Ofsted) To make sure there is specialist support and enough special school places for all children with special educational needs. There is evidence to show that existing pupils, whether or not they have special educational needs, will benefit from the specialist knowledge of staff working with children in the SEN unit leading to an overall enhancement in the quality of teaching throughout the school. There is a particular need for SEN units in the Fleetwood area. |
