Consultees
27 November 2017 - the Commissioning Plan for Education Provision 2018-22 was endorsed by the Children’s, Young People and Education Cabinet Committee and agreed by the Cabinet at its meeting in January 2018.
Details of the proposal and the outcome of the public consultation were reported to the Children’s, Young People and Education Cabinet Committee at its meeting on 10 July 2018.
It was
planned that public consultation on the proposed changes would take
place in May/June 2018.
Financial implications: The increase in the designated number does not require any alterations to St Nicholas School. Modular accommodation for the satellite provision at Spires Academy has been included in the school’s expansion programme. SEN funding has been provided to cover the refurbishment cost for the satellite provision at The Canterbury Primary School. The school will receive increased funding through the Delegated Budget. Special schools are funded using the DfE Place Plus funding methodology for High Needs Pupils. Revenue funding will also be allocated to enable the school to resource the new satellite classrooms at The Canterbury Primary School and Spires Academy. At present, this is funded at a rate of £6,000 per classroom. The school will appoint members of staff as appropriate for the satellite provisions.
Legal implications: Any legal implications will be identified in the report to the Cabinet Member for Children, Young People and Education before he takes the decision to issue a statutory public notice.
Equalities implications: An Equality Impact Assessment will be produced before the start of the consultation process and will be accessible online.
