Suffolk County Council is consulting on a proposal to provide a new teaching block for up to 12 Reception and Key Stage 1 pupils with Special Educational Needs (SEND). Whilst pupils will very much be included into School life at Exning Primary, these 12 pupils will be in addition to the School’s mainstream places.
Across Suffolk there is a shortfall of special education places available. This can mean that some pupils have to be educated away from their local communities. As part of a SEND capital programme, Exning Primary School have been selected to deliver specialist places. These places will be offered as part of a dedicated purpose built teaching block with specially trained staff. It will give more children the opportunity to be educated in their community closer to home. The funding for capital works at Exning Primary is being provided by Suffolk County Council. Please note that a tree has already had to be removed from this part of the site for safety reasons as it was badly damaged in high winds.
This non-statutory pre-application planning consultation will enable us to gather the views of local residents prior to the submission of the planning application. It does not affect the right to comment on the proposals during the statutory planning consultation process.
