Purpose

On 25 June 2025 Executive Cabinet received the report
‘OUTCOME OF CONSULTATIONS TO OPEN SEN UNITS’ which
approved the establishment of nine SEN units within Tameside
mainstream schools.  The report also approved the
allocation of £1.5m of High Needs Capital Grant to enable
adaptation work and equipping of the new approved SEN
units.  This £1.5m included a £0.270m
general contingency pot but did not determine how that contingency
pot was to be allocated.
