PROPOSAL TO REDUCE RESOURCED PROVISION PLACES FOR PUPILS WITH SPECIFIC LEARNING DIFFICULTIES (SpLD) AT CRESTWOOD COMMUNITY SCHOOL, EASTLEIGH FROM SEPTEMBER 2025

Hampshire County Council plans to reduce the Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) Resourced Provision at Crestwood Community School from 15 to 8 places starting September 2025. The school has two Resourced Provisions: one for SpLD on the Shakespeare campus and another for Social, Emotional, and Mental Health (SEMH) needs on both campuses.

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 CRESTWOOD COMMUITY SCHOOL Shakespeare Road, Eastleigh, Hampshire, SO50 4FZ (category of school – Community) with effect from September 2025.

2. Crestwood Community School has two established Resourced Provisions. One for Specific Learning Difficulties (SpLD) on the Shakespeare campus, the other for Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) needs on both campuses.

3. Due to reduced demand and improved SEN support within most secondary schools, the proposal is to reduce the SpLD Resourced Provision by 7 places from 15 to 8 places from September 2025. This change will not affect the overall capacity of mainstream places at Crestwood Community School.

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

5. 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]
