The LA currently has circa £8.3 M of
High Needs Provision Capital Allocations Funding. A number of
projects were approved in 2024, and these have now been completed
and are operating effectively and offering additional places for
children with additional needs in improved and purpose-built
learning environments.
We are continuing to develop a number of major projects (those
costing over 250k) and these will be the subject of a Cabinet
Report in June 2025. This report is focused on and seeks approval
for two lower cost projects that can be quickly delivered.
RESOLVED - That approval be granted to issue
grant funding from the HNPCA Capital Fund to the schools listed in
order to enhance provision for pupils with SEND and additional
needs.
There were no alternative options
considered.
Not applicable.
Other reasons / organisations consulted
