St Mark's Secondary School - MLD Resource Base Expansion

Under section 14 of the Education Act 1996, Local Authorities have a statutory duty to ensure that there are sufficient schools for primary and secondary education in their areas and for securing that special educational provision is made for pupils who have special educational needs (SEND).
This project will support St Mark's School to expand a specialist Resource Base for children with SEND and specifically children with Moderate Learning Difficulties (MLD).
The project will improve capacity, reach and delivery of SEND education support services by increasing the number of commissioned places from 10 to 20 places at St Mark's Secondary School. It will support inclusion and co-ordination of SEND teaching and practice for secondary age children.
The project will enable the Council to deliver local placements and reduce the costs of out of county placements and travel.
