Overview
Surrey County Council and The Federation of Manor Mead and Walton Leigh Schools are proposing that Walton Leigh School will expand by 60 places. It is also proposed that the school will 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 will 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.
Why your views matter
It is proposed that Walton Leigh School will expand on a satellite site on the former Hurst Park Primary School site in West Molesey, creating 60 additional places for pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD) and pupils who are autistic from Years 7-14.
Pupils who attend the satellite site at Hurst Road campus will be on roll at Walton Leigh School and this will be named in Section I of the Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Building work will be required on the site at Hurst Road to provide appropriate accommodation for the additional pupils.
We are now undertaking a consultation on the proposal to expand Walton Leigh School to create 60 additional places, provided on the former Hurst Park Primary School site in West Molesey.
