Morelands Primary School, Waterlooville - Resourced Provision – Change of Designation - Consultation
Closed on
Decided on
From Monday 16 January to Monday 13 February 2023 Hampshire County Council asked for views on the proposal to change the designation of the Resourced Provision (RP) at Morelands Primary School.
Hampshire’s County Council SEND Strategy ensures sufficient school places to meet the needs of all children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND); ensuring that the provision is developed in the right place, at the right time, with additional places to address population growth and the identified increase in demands.
The Council therefore proposed a change in designation at the Assessment Resource Provision (ARP) within Morelands Primary School. It is an expectation of the Council to develop quality specialist provision in schools graded good or above by Ofsted, offering the right support, in the right place at the right time.
Whilst the consultation was open, comments on the proposal could be sent to Sara Carey, Inclusion Commissioning Manager, Children’s Services Department, EII Court North, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8UG or emailed to [email protected].
This consultation ran from Monday 16 January to Monday 13 February 2023. Officers took into consideration all the consultation responses received before deciding whether the proposal should continue to the formal publication stage.
During the consultation, a drop-in session where the public was able to discuss the proposal with Hampshire County Council officers took place on the Tuesday 31 January 2023 between 3.30 and 6pm at Morelands Primary School.
