The Deputy Director, Learning approved an
educational placement at Armley Grange School at a cost of
£180,000.00 to the Local Authority.

Placement at this young person’s current setting, other
mainstream settings, and other specialist settings have been
considered and due to the environmental requirements and specialist
staffing required to meet this young person’s special
educational needs (SEN), they require a specialist placement. The
authority has a statutory duty to make provision for this child who
has an Education, Health and Care (EHC) Plan under Section 42 of
the Children and Families Act 2014.

It is considered in the public interest that information contained
in the business case is exempt from publication as it relates to a
vulnerable child or young person within the City and the actions
taken are to enable that person to receive their statutory
entitlement to a minimum of 25 hours of education.
