• St Martin’s Church of England Primary
• Selby High School

• Alverton Primary School

• to consult publicly on school organisation proposals to add provision for Special Educational Needs by providing new Special Resourced provision at St Martin’s Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, Scarborough and Selby High School.

• to consult publicly on school organisation proposals to transfer the responsibility of the existing Special Resourced provision based at Thirsk School and Sixth Form from the Hambleton and Richmond Pupil Referral Service to Thirsk School.

• to consult publicly on school organisation proposals to increase the number of places at the existing Special Resourced provision at Alverton Primary School, Northallerton, from 8 to 16 places.

The implementation of Targeted Mainstream Provisions is one aspect of the wide- ranging Strategic Plan for SEND Education Provision 2023-2026. The implementation will have an impact upon the identified gap between mainstream and special school provision and provide families with an additional option. This is one aspect of the approved strategic plan that will, once fully implemented, enable the LA to better meet needs across the continuum of SEND provision and the county.

This development will also have impact upon SEND Transport, for those who qualify, as the LA seeks to provide more local options in line with the Strategic Plans principle of Right Support, Right Place, Right Time
