Consultation on the Proposal to Establish Specialist Resourced Provision at Park Hill Junior School

Overview

In order to meet forecast demand and build on the local offer of specialist provision, the local authority is continuing the development of specialist resourced provision across the county whereby pupils with an education, health and care plan (EHCP), who are able to access a mainstream curriculum, can have their needs met and benefit from being located within a mainstream school environment.

Warwickshire County Council is proposing to establish education provision for children with special educational needs in the form of resourced (specialist) provision for up to 8 primary aged pupils, principally in Year 3 to Year 6, diagnosed with communication and interaction needs at Park Hill Junior School.  If approved the provision would be implemented for September 2024.

The specialist resourced provision at Park Hill Junior School will support pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan whose primary needs are communication and interaction.  These pupils will benefit from accessing education at a mainstream primary school through a flexible approach, tailored and adapted to their needs.

Further information on the proposal is contained in the consultation document below.
