Subject to the
outcome of the consultation the Lead Member will be asked to take a
final decision on a proposal to re-designate the SEN facility at
Wallands Community Primary School from 1 September 2022, to also
include pupils with a primary need of Autistic Spectrum Disorder
(ASD).
Wallands Community Primary School has a designated specialist
facility for up to 16 pupils aged 4-11 with speech, language and
communication needs (SLCN). East Sussex County Council is proposing
to extend the designation of the facility from 1 September 2022, to
include pupils aged 4-11 with a primary need of Autistic Spectrum
Disorder (ASD).
The change in designation will enable the council to meet a growing
need for places for pupils aged 4-11 with ASD, linked to a
reduction in demand for SLCN places.
