Statutory notices for the expansion of Walton Leigh School onto a satellite site at the former Hurst Park Primary School site & change of school designation from a designation of SLD/PMLD to a designation of SLD/PMLD and ASD

Overview

Surrey County Council and The Federation of Manor Mead and Walton Leigh Schools are proposing that Walton Leigh School would expand onto a satellite site at Hurst Road, West Molesey, creating 60 additional specialist school places for pupils aged 11-19. It is also proposed that the school would change from a designation of Severe Learning Difficulties/Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (SLD/PMLD) to a designation of Severe Learning Difficulties/Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (SLD/PMLD) and Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The 60-place expansion would be provided on a satellite site on the former Hurst Park Primary School site in West Molesey. This would permanently expand Walton Leigh School from 88 places to 148 places.

All pupils would be on roll at Walton Leigh School and have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) that names Walton Leigh School satellite site Hurst Road campus as the appropriate placement to meet their individual needs.
