Transforming Learning - Public Meetings

School Organisation Review
We are continuing to work hard to raise standards of education across the county, through the school organisation review (SOR).  We have agreed to move to the second phase of the review, which is focused on developing specific proposals for individual schools. 

Twelve weeks of public consultation relating to options for the future of schools in the Beccles, Bungay and Halesworth, Leiston and Saxmundham, Mildenhall and Brandon and Newmarket began on 22 September 2008.

Building Schools for the Future
Building Schools for the Future (BSF) aims to rebuild or renew every secondary school in England over a 10 to 15 year period.
As part of the Building Schools for the Future investment in Suffolk we are considering the future of secondary education in Felixstowe.  We have identified a number of options and we need your views on the options.  Each option involves considerable change for the two existing secondary schools, Deben and Orwell. The options include a single school.

Development of specialist education provision in south Suffolk

Earlier this year we agreed that further work should be done to investigate how to extend provision for children and young people with special educational needs (SEN) and disabilities.  We are currently looking at proposals for special schools and satellite support centres in south Suffolk, and proposals to develop new provision across the county for children and young people who have:

  • Severe dyslexia (specific learning difficulties)
  • High level autism
  • Significant social, emotional and behavioural difficulties.
