This SEN unit will not require any additional buildings to be added to the school, as classrooms already there will be used for it. Its creation is part of a plan to provide places at local primary schools for 21 children affected by various Forms of autism. Epsom and Ewell Council is keen to cut back on its dependence on private, independent teaching facilities for children with such needs.
Difficulties in interacting and communicating with others are the issues that are most frequently experienced by autistic children living in Epsom and the wider Surrey area, and those are the challenges that this SEN unit will look to address.
Schools within the borough can rely on Stationery printers in Epsom if they need quick delivery of Forms or printed classroom materials for use in teaching.
According to Surrey Live, Councillor Denise Turner-Stewart said at a recent meeting to discuss the Plans:
“I’m very happy to approve this decision. Epsom is a £1.1 million investment that will make 12 places available in September 2022, rising to its full capacity of 21 in September 2026.”
Once the project is completed, the council will save £630,000 per year.Get a Free Quote for Plans Get a Free Quote for Stationery Get a Free Quote for Forms
