Proposed Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) Resource Base – Colton Hills Community School

Overview

The City of Wolverhampton Council propose to establish a SEND Resource Base at Colton Hills Community School with effect from September 2027.

It is proposed for a 20 place Resource Base, for Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) to be established at Colton Hills Community School which will support an increase in demand for specialist places.

Why your views matter

 

Demand for specialist school places has risen significantly in recent years and there has been an increase in the number of children with Education Health and Care Plans (EHCP). At present, Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) is one of the most common primary needs.

Additional resource base provision is required to meet demand for SEND across the City and is commissioned by the Council and service level agreements (SLAs) are in place with individual providers/schools.

We are seeking your comments/feedback on the proposed Resource Base.

We would welcome your views
