As a result of the consultation process it has been decided to proceed with the proposals and the statutory notice will be issued on Monday 4 June 2018. This will give a further 4 week period for interested parties to make representations.
Following this period it is planned that a paper detailing the proposal and consultation outcomes will be presented to the Cabinet Member for Learning in July for a decision.
Overview
Surrey County Council in liaison with Ashford Park Primary School, is proposing to extend the age range of the specialist centre for pupils with Learning and Additional Needs (LAN) in order to align the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) offer with the school age range. This means that the school would be able to accommodate pupils from Reception year who could then stay at the school until the end of year 6, if their needs are still able to be met by the school.
It is proposed that the number of places changes from the current total of 16 planned places (notionally 4 per year group in key stage 2 only) to 25 (notionally 3 per year group for key stage 1 and 4 per year group at key stage 2). This will enable the provision to remain sustainable, to meet local demand and for it to match the age range of the rest of the school. These changes would come into effect from 1st September 2018.
Surrey County Council and the specialist centre at Ashford Park Primary School would like to seek your views on this proposal. The consultation will open on Monday 30th April 2018.
A public meeting is planned at Ashford Park Primary School on Friday 18th May 2018 at 10am.
All are welcome to attend.
