DECISION MADE

 

Following consultation, I give notice that I have made the decision set out in the attached report.

 

This decision was published on 6 June 2024 and will come into force on 14 June 2014.

Reasons for the decision:

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

Alternative options considered:

Creating the resource base for the 2024-25 academic year will help meet the identified need for specialist SEN school places in the Chippenham and North Wiltshire area. The alternative ‘do nothing’ would carry the risks identified in this paper.

Other reasons / organisations consulted

It was agreed with St Paul’s Primary School to start the statutory four-week consultation period on 19 April 2024. During this formal consultation period there were three responses, all in favour of the proposal to create the resource base.
