Purpose

To fund capital works which will enable BANES
to open a Secondary School Resource Base to accommodate children
and young people with SEND. The new SEND Resource Base will support
up to 20 pupils with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Resource
Bases are for pupils with special educational needs and an
Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) who will attend mainstream
school and receive additional specialist support at a resource
base. This is in line with the Council's priorities as set out in
the SEND Education Strategy and Action Plan 2021-2024.

Decision

To fully approve a £390,679.30 capital
budget, funded by CIL, Basic Needs Grant and High Needs Provision
Capital Allocation Grant (HNPCA).
