(UK) Hants: $3.1M to create 46 more special needs places in 4 schools
A multimillion-pound project to expand the special educational needs (SEN) provision in Hampshire schools has been approved.
The £2.36 million [$3.1M] proposal approved by Hampshire County Council on March 12 will see the creation of 46 new places by using spare spaces at four schools.
The plan will convert surplus space at into dedicated SEND spaces for children with autism and social, emotional, and mental health needs.
This will happen at Poulner Junior School in Ringwood, Crofton Anne Dale Junior School in Fareham, Hamble Primary School in Eastleigh, and Stanmore Primary School in Winchester. . . .
The council says the new SEND provision will help manage the pressure created by the rising number of education, health, and care plans maintained by the local authority.
