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 APPLEMORE COLLEGE Roman Road, Dibden Purlieu, Southampton, Hampshire, SO45 4RQ (category of school – Foundation School) with effect from September 2025.

2. Applemore College currently operates a Resourced Provision for pupils with Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD). Due to reduced demand and improved SEN support within most secondary schools, the proposal is to reduce the SpLD Resourced Provision by eight places from 20 to 12 from September 2025. This change will not affect the overall capacity of mainstream places at Applemore College.

3. There is no capital cost to this proposed change.

4. This Notice is an extract from the complete proposal. Copies of the complete proposal may be obtained from Helen Ley, SEN Partnership Development Manager, Children's Services Department, EII Court North, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8UG; e-mail: [email protected]  

5. Within four weeks from the date of publication of these proposals, any person may object or make comments on the proposal by sending them to Helen Ley, SEN Partnership Development Manager, Children's Services Department, EII Court North, Winchester, Hampshire SO23 8UG; by phone on: 0370 779 3919 or e-mail: [email protected]
