Overview

In agreement with the school’s Headteacher and Governing Body, Surrey County Council is proposing to expand the SEN unit at Hythe Primary School, from 25 places to 41, to include 16 additional places for autistic pupils and those with communication and interactions needs.This will create a continuous offer for autistic pupils and those with communication and interaction needs throughout the primary school.

There will be 25 ASD places; 9 places in Year R to Year 2 and an extra intake of 1 place at the key stage transfer in Year 3 to create 16 places in Year 3 to Year 6. The unit will maintain its dual designation of ASD/MLD [1]. Pupils will have an EHCP specifying the specialist provision within the school as an appropriate placement to meet their individual needs.

The informal consultation was open from 7 November 2022 to 5 December 2022. A public meeting was offered on 21 November 2022 however there were no participants on the day therefore the meeting did not go ahead.  An analysis of the responses to the informal consulatation can be found in the documents below.

 

[1] Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is the term used by the Department for Education (DfE) as the school designation that meets the needs of autistic pupils and those with communication and interaction needs. Moderate Learning  Difficulties (MLD) is the DfE school designation, known locally in Surrey as Learning and Additional Needs (LAN).
