Minutes:
28.1 The Lead Member considered a report by the Director of Children’s Services seeking approval to establish a Special Educational Needs (SEN) facility at Grovelands Community Primary School.
DECISIONS
28.2 The Lead Member RESOLVED to authorise the establishment of a SEN facility for up to 8 pupils at Grovelands Community Primary School with effect from the start of Term 5 in the 2018/19 academic year.
Reasons
