Introduction
Leeds City Council, in partnership with the Leeds East Primary Partnership, is proposing to establish a 16-place Specialist Inclusion Base, for children with communication and interaction needs, including autism at Seacroft Grange Primary School. The Specialist Inclusion Base would be led by specialist staff with expertise and skills in supporting pupils with additional educational needs and who would develop and support the whole school approach and curriculum, including an inclusive ethos to enable children to be included in mainstream. The Specialist Inclusion Base would cater for all primary year groups.
The Specialist Inclusion Base would be based within a new school building, purposefully built to create a specialist learning environment for children with communication and interaction needs, including autism. Seacroft Grange Primary School is an Ofsted rated ‘Good’ school, with experience of supporting children with SEN. This provision will enhance the education of the existing children as well as making provision for other children in the locality and wider areas of Leeds.
The proposed opening date for the Specialist Inclusion Base is September 2027.
This consultation is an opportunity for you to have your say about the proposals.
This survey asks you to tell us:
- Whether or not you support the plans to establish a 16 place Specialist Inclusion Base for children with communication and interaction needs, including autism at Seacroft Grange Primary School
- What the reasons are for those views.
