    Consultation Document

    …on changes to Special Schools and Additional Resource Provisions within mainstream schools This consultation is open from February 3, 2021, to May 5, 2021. You can have your say online at www.schoolsforthefuture.co.uk/SEND Introduction This consultation is about how we propose to provide more school places for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) in both mainstream schools and specialist provision that meets the needs of the young people in Central Bedfordshire in the future. We expect the number of local residents in Central Bedfordshire to grow in the coming years, with around 43,000 new homes expected to be built by 2035 – and that means more SEND school places will be needed. Because of the changes, local schools have been working together, with Central Bedfordshire Council, on the ambitious Schools for the Future programme, which is a long-term plan to raise education standards and make sure we have: • The right schools • In the right places • Delivering the best education Through this, we will aim to ensure that the following outcomes are achieved: • Health – children and young people with SEND will be as healthy as possible • Wellbeing – the wellbeing of children and young people with SEND will be optimised • Aspiration – children and young people with SEND will learn and develop to the best of their ability • Independence – children and young people with SEND will be enabled to reach their potential • Involvement – children and young people with SEND and their families will be able to influence their services This consultation is in the following parts: Part 1: Central Bedfordshire’s 132 mainstream schools all support children with Special Education Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
