local authority is now required

Alternative options considered

The County Council and the Governing Body of
River View Primary and Nursery School propose to develop a SEN
Resource Base at River View Primary and Nursery School.

The proposal is for the SEN Resource base at River View Primary and
Nursery School to provide:

• Early Years and Key Stage One provision
- 6 full time and 2 Short Stay places
• Key Stage Two
- 6 full time and 2 Short Stay places

There is an increased demand for places for children with SEND in
the area. Fountains Primary School is the only special primary
school in the area and does not have any additional capacity to
meet the needs of all children in the area requiring specialist
provision.

River View Primary and Nursery School and Fountains Primary school
have been working in partnership to develop an approach to meeting
the needs of children in the area who require specialist provision
and ensure staff working in the resource base are appropriately
trained and able to meet the SEND needs of the children who
attend
