Coteford Infant School consultation

We are proposing to close the Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) for Physical Difficulties (PD) at Coteford Infant School. If approved, closure will take place at the end of the summer term in July 2025.

We regularly review the needs of the population, and the evidence shows that there has been a significant decline in the demand for places for an SRP for PD needs. There is also an expectation that children with physical disabilities should have their needs met in mainstream schools with reasonable adjustments, and therefore, we no longer require a separate SRP provision to meet the needs of these children.

The SRP is not a traditional, additionally resourced learning space at Coteford Infant School, and therefore the closure is not a closure of a specific unit or classroom. All students who have SRP provision written in their Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) for Coteford Infant School, access mainstream classes at all times.
