Feb 3, 2025, Lancashire Business: Cabinet to consider proposals for creating new special school places
NW England
Councillors are set to approve plans which will create extra school places in Lancashire for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
At the next cabinet meeting on Thursday, councillors will be asked to approve the expansion of six special schools and the development of Special Educational Needs (SEN) Units and Special Education Resource Facilities (SERF) at nine mainstream schools across Lancashire.
This is to address a continuing increase in demand for more specialist provision for children with educational needs and disabilities.
A total of 265 additional spaces would be created across Lancashire in 2025 through the delivery of this programme. . . .
Councillor Jayne Rear said: “These latest proposals will help to ensure that every child and young person in Lancashire gets the support they need to enable them to reach their potential in education and future employment. . . .
