Background
Melbourn Primary School was inspected by Ofsted in September 2021 and was rated as ‘Good’. The main school building does not have capacity so a suitable space will be created to enable a provision to be established. It will be an Enhanced Resource Base (ERB) for students with an Education Health Care Plan (EHCP) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as their primary need.
The provision will offer 10 spaces for children with ASD.
The Local Authority is implementing a county-wide Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Strategy. It will address the deficit and demand on specialist support for children and young people with SEND and EHCP. They are looking to create new provisions and extend current provisions as required.
Proposal
It is proposed to make two distinct changes to the current school offer, these are:
- establishing a SEND provision at the ERB which will offer 10 places for students with an EHCP and ASD primary need
- changing the designation details of the school to reflect their SEND provision supporting ASD.
