Aug 17, 2025, Salisbury Journal: New centre for children with special educational needs to open in town
Children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) will soon benefit from a new district specialist centre in Tidworth.
The early years centre will be the fifth of its kind in Wiltshire and is expected to open in November.
Cllr Jon Hubbard, cabinet member for education and skills at Wiltshire Council, said: "We are delighted to be opening a fifth District Specialist Centre in Tidworth.
"By working closely with families and early years providers, we can ensure every child has the opportunity to thrive.
"The addition of a District Specialist Centre in Tidworth strengthens our commitment to inclusive education and support across Wiltshire."
Located in Wylye Road, the centre will offer around 10 places per session and will be run by Dingley’s Promise, a charity specialising in early years SEND support.
The centre will follow a similar model to the four existing centres in Salisbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham and Devizes.
Lee Friend, chief operating officer at Dingley’s Promise, said: "Dingley’s Promise are excited to be working with Wiltshire Council, to open a specialist SEND centre in the Wiltshire area."
