The plan must assess the extent to which the local rights of way meet the present and likely future needs to the public as well as the opportunities the PROW network can provide for exercise, open air recreation and the enjoyment of the area and the accessibility to blind or partially sighted persons and others with mobility problems. The plan must include a statement of the actions proposed to manage the PROW and for securing an improved network. In accordance with the guidance set out by DEFRA the plan must explain how improvements made by the local authority to the public rights of way network will provide a better experience for walkers, cyclists, horse riders, horse and carriage drivers and people with mobility problems.

    06/12/2018 - 18/00059 - Establishing a 15 place Specialist Resource Provision at Kings Farm Primary School ref: 2209    Recommendations Approved

    Kings Farm Primary School is a community school providing education for students of all abilities aged 4-11.  There are currently 404 children on roll with 99 children with an SEN need and 4 children with an EHCP.

     

    KCC want to build upon the existing provision of the school by establishing a Specialist Resource Base Provision (SRP) within the school for students with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

     

    The school has been identified by Kent County Council (KCC) as doing particularly well at supporting pupils with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  KCC has asked the school to consider creating a new SRP within the school for up to 15 children. The places will be commissioned by KCC and reviewed each year.  It is expected that the SRP would open initially with a small number of children currently on roll at the school who meet the criteria for a place in the SRP.
