Minutes:
Cabinet considered a report that provided the
outcomes of the formal consultations that were carried out in
relation to proposals to create Special Educational Needs (SEN)
units attached to two primary schools and one secondary school.
It was noted that the results of the
feasibility studies and informal consultations to expand and
increase the number of school places in two special schools were
also provided and Cabinet was being asked to approve the
publication of statutory notices and the initiation of formal
consultation needed to make changes to the two schools.
Additionally, the report included information
in relation to a proposal to create a free special school for
primary aged pupils presenting with social, emotional and mental
health needs in a partially occupied building on the same site as
Castle View Primary School in Lancaster. Cabinet was being asked to
approve the initiation of the process required to establish the new
school.
Resolved: That;
- Following consideration of the
results of the formal consultations, and the creation of a Special
Educational Needs unit at Fleetwood Chaucer Primary School, St
Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Primary School, Skelmersdale and
St Augustine's Roman Catholic High School, Billington, near
Clitheroe be approved, and it be noted that the development of a
Special Educational Needs unit at St Augustine's Roman Catholic
High School was part of a larger school expansion that received
Cabinet approval in April 2022;
- Following consideration of the
results of the informal consultation to expand and increase the
number of school places at Thornton Cleveleys Red Marsh School and
