Statutory notice for the proposal to change the age range and increase pupil numbers at the specialist centre at William Cobbett Primary School

Overview

Surrey County Council in liaison with William Cobbett Primary School, is proposing to extend the age range of the specialist centre for pupils with Communication and Interaction Needs (COIN) 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 20 planned places (notionally 5 per year group in key stage 2 only) to 30 (notionally 2 per year group for key stage 1 and 6 per year group at key stage 2 to incorporate pupils from Badshot Lea specialist centre). This will enable the provision to remain sustainable 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 William Cobbett Primary School would like to seek your views on this proposal.  The statutory consultation period will open on 4th June 2018.
