Proposal for closing two of the ‘resource bases’ that provide specialist services in Manchester schools
We are consulting on some new proposals for this service. Read and comment on the new proposals.
We propose closing two of the resource bases that provide specialist support for hearing impaired children at St Andrew’s and St John’s primary schools.
This will leave Alma Park as the resource centre for primary school children and Manchester Academy for Secondary children.
The children will all have new assessments of their needs and their education, health and care plans. This will identify the support they need to receive.
The needs of the children and what parents want will be the most important part of what happens next. The options for these children will be to:
- remain in their current school with support from the sensory support service
- move to Alma Park hearing impairment resource base
- move to their local school receiving some support there.
The deadline for comments on these proposals is Thursday 21 July.
