Dear Parents, Carers and Local Residents
As you may be aware, a package of investment to improve school provision and support for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) has been approved by the council's Executive with the support of all special schools and the Lincolnshire Parent Carer Forum.
As part of this investment package, The Priory School will be subject to significant re-development, including the building of a new block and extensive remodelling to existing facilities. This is an exciting opportunity for children and young people in Spalding and surrounding area with SEND to be educated in modern, updated facilities which will enable them to fulfil their potential.
This investment will provide enhanced premises and facilities and additional places for local children and young people with SEND, ensuring they can be educated in their local community.
As either your child attends the Priory school or you reside in the vicinity of Priory School you may be interested to find out more about the proposed developments. Due to Covid-19 we are unable to hold a pre-planning engagement event which we would usually do in advance of any school development project. Therefore, we would like to invite you to find out more about the development scheme and view the plans virtually. From 08/03/2021, you will be able to view the proposed plans on the website www.spaldingspecialschools.co.uk. Please click onto the ‘Priory School’ tab and then onto the ‘SEND expansion statement for public consultation’.
Your contributions are important to us and will help shape the final planning application. Therefore, we would like to invite your comments and questions via email at SENDCommunities@lincolnshire.gov.uk Alternatively, please contact the school on 01775 724080 where a member of the senior leadership team will be happy to discuss your comments. All contributions will need to be submitted by 17/03/2021.
Yours sincerely
Matthew Bloodworth-Flatt
