This report presents the steps that have been
taken and the outcomes of initial informal consultations with
respect to capital projects that were identified as part of the
SEND Sufficiency Strategy that was approved by cabinet in January
2020. Specifically this report relates to the creation of special
educational needs units attached to four mainstream primary
schools, the expansion of Sir Tom Finney Community High School and
the expansion and relocation of Broadfield Specialist School.
Approval is sought from cabinet to progress these projects through
statutory processes required to implement the identified changes to
these schools. Approval is also requested to streamline the process

future.
