Consultation on proposal to develop a SEN Unit at Brunshaw Primary School

How to take part

Purpose	What are we planning to do? The proposal is to create an SEN unit for up to sixteen children with social, emotional and mental health needs at Brunshaw Primary School. All of these children will have education, health and care plans. Some of these children will transfer from another school to Brunshaw 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 Brunshaw 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. - To make sure there is specialist support and enough special school places for all children with special educational needs. - 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 improvement in the quality of teaching throughout the school. - There is a particular need for SEN units in the Lancashire East area
