Hythe Bay Church of England Primary School

We would like to hear your views on a proposal to widen the designation of the Specialist Resourced Provision (SRP) at Hythe Bay Church of England Primary School, from January 2027.

The SRP currently supports pupils with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) with speech language and communication needs (SLCN). These pupils need more specialist support than can be provided within the school’s usual resources and available funding.

We are proposing to widen the SRP’s focus to reflect the changing needs of pupils with special educational needs. In particular, SRPs increasingly need to support pupils with a wider range of communication needs, including autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

More information can be found in the Consultation letter, which is available from the Documents section on this webpage.

We have completed an Equality Impact Assessment (EqIA) to see if the proposal could affect anyone unfairly. We welcome your views on the assumptions we have made and the conclusions we have drawn. The EqIA is available to from the Documents section on this webpage.
