Overview

Surrey County Council in liaison with The Orchard Infant School, is proposing to open a specialist Special Education Needs and Disability (SEND) centre for pupils with Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN). 

All pupils admitted to the centre would have an EHCP specifying the school as an appropriate placement to meet their individual needs. It is proposed that the centre would have 6 places with 2 places per year group.

We held a Consultation from 2nd November - 14th December and a virtual public meeting on the 18th November.
