Special School Designation Review
Minutes:
Councillor Jon Taylor (Cabinet Member for Education, Skills and Transformation) introduced a report on the Special School Designation Review. Following a short debate Cabinet agreed –
1. to re-designate all special schools to ‘complex needs’from 1 September 2019. In addition to this, each school is described through a general and a specific criterion. Each of the specific criteria reflects the current designation of each special school, but provides description to support work to match pupils to the most appropriate special school;
2. to proceed with the SEND Review of education provision 2018-21 and the associated implementation plan for 2018-2021. This includes a planned review of capacity within Special Schools as identified;
3. the capital plan projects for SEND to be presented to City Council Investment Board when feasibility studies have been completed.
