1. Notice is hereby given, in accordance with Section 19(1) of the Education and Inspections Act 2006, that Hampshire County Council intends to make a prescribed alteration to VELMEAD JUNIOR SCHOOL Velmead Road, Fleet, Hampshire, GU52 7LG (category of school – Community School) from September 2025.

2. The current capacity of Velmead Junior School is 360. The proposal is to establish a new Resourced Provision for 12 junior aged pupils with autism needs, opening in phases from September 2025. This will not affect the overall capacity of mainstream places at Velmead Junior School.
