RULE 3.5.15 - New Special School with Co-located Children’s Homes (WL)

Decision maker:  Cabinet Member for Children's Services

Decision due:   Not before 13th Dec 2025

Lead officer:  Olwyn Donnelly

Notice of proposed decision first published: 26/11/2025

This decision will be taken under urgency procedures.

Reason for urgency:
The original opening date of September 2026 had to be delayed and, if we are to open in September 2027, (critical if we are to move children into the school/homes at the beginning of the academic year) we need the increased budget to be approved before Christmas. This would allow enough time to appoint the design and build team and have the contractors onsite for June 2026, which would be the very latest if we are to complete by September 2027.
