(UK) Saltash: School to add space for more SPED places
A SCHOOl in Saltash is set for a major boost after plans for a new classroom block were given the green light, paving the way for more specialist provision for pupils with special educational needs.
Cornwall Council has granted conditional permission for the development at Saltash.net Community School in Wearde Road.
The new building will provide two general teaching classrooms, breakout space, sanitary facilities and associated areas. However, the biggest benefit will be the extra room created for the school’s Special Educational Needs Area Resource Base (SEN ARB).
The project will allow the SEN ARB to expand into the space currently occupied by two mainstream classrooms. Those classrooms will move into the new building, freeing up existing accommodation and allowing the school to provide additional places for pupils with special educational needs.
Crucially, the development will not increase the school’s overall pupil capacity. Instead, it will allow Saltash.net to reorganise the space it already has and provide more specialist support for children who need it, while maintaining existing mainstream pupil numbers. . . .
