Decision details

1. To approve the Council to make a prescribed alteration to Lyneham Primary School by creating a resource base (special educational needs provision).

Following consultation, I give notice that I have made the decision to create a Resource Base at Lyneham Primary School as set out in the attached report.

This decision was published on 14 December 2022 and will come into force on 22 December 2022.

4. To provide specialist SEN school places for children in the Lyneham and North Wiltshire area assessed as needing this provision based on their Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).

3. Creating the resource base for January 2023 will help meet the identified need for specialist SEN school places in Lyneham and the North Wiltshire area. The alternative ‘do nothing’ would carry the risks identified in this paper.

2. It was agreed with Lyneham Primary School to start the statutory four-week consultation period on 31st October 2022. During this formal consultation period there were three responses, two in favour and one against the proposal to create the resource base.
