Some schools (mine) have literally NO space for additional rooms as a 'breakout' or quiet space for SEND children. This isn't considered. And they have no money or space on the site to build additional rooms. This has not been considered.

This is throwing good money after bad. Levels of EHCP are only above National because the LA gives them out like confetti and did not plan for the change to include the age change to 25. Pre 16 levels are below National average

Inclusion into mainstream schools to reduce the number of exclusions, which in turn reduces the drain on high needs funds, should be the priority for SBC.

The survey states they 2 PFI schools’ but there are in fact 7 of these.

We are a brand new school in an exceptional school. However, we are an inclusive school with a large number of SEND students and we are starting from scratch in terms of resources and structures to fully support these students, specifically, our ASC students. We already have 9 EHCP admissions for next year and any support and funding would really benefit the needs of all of our students.

No need for the pods, what about primary schools?

Why do primary schools have to bid and match fund, yet secondary schools are given a pod?

Free pods for secondary schools- one rule for one and another for others! Primary schools are missing out!

There are a high number of children who the Local Authority accepts should be at Crowdy's Hill. These children should not be placed in mainstream schools as a result of a lack of alternative provision. To do this would be unethical and would contravene the Local authority's statutory responsibility to provide appropriate provision.

I think that there is a piece of work to do in relation to the proposed 'pods'. These could separate pupils in a mainstream setting and be divisive. Not all schools need the additional space. Some could use the funding to improve space that is already available and would be more sustainable long-term. It would also be a much more inclusive approach. The capital investment also needs to be accompanied with finance to support staffing to teach the children with these needs in a mainstream school. It is not all about space.

The dates in question 7 are over a lot of the Easter holiday - could there be more term time to do the paper work please.

Funding needs to be allocated to extend provision at Crowdy's so that pupils with EHCPs that need special school places are able to have them. As a Headtecher I beleive that the whole project is flawed.

My preference (and that of other HT I have spoken with) would be for the capital funding to be spent centrally in this year to support children for whom mainstream is not the most appropriate option. I absolutely support the principles of inclusion, except in cases where to include is not in the child's best interest. All the messages/consultations we are getting from the authority, and the evidence we see in front of us, suggest that some students are being placed in mainstream when it is clearly not in their best interests. When more centralised provision is already full it would seem sensible to me,for this year at least, to use this funding to extend and enhance that provision, rather than place children in inappropriate settings for them.

The minimum funding would not support the changes and improvements need secure successful outcomes for children.

It is difficult to agree to the proposals without further information about how the pods will be used. I fear that they will be use as a way of excluding students from the main school building whilst ensuring they are in mainstream school. Essentially it will be an an extension to being taught in the corridor. Also there is no provision for primary schools which are being made to take children who historically would have had specialist provision and who in fact still need that level of support. I think the timescale for bids is too short.

This survey needs to be worded in a much more simple way. Lots of people wont understand it.

Please fund more pastoral and specialist TA support alongside these plans. The only way this will work is by having amazing staff on board!

This survey should be promoted in the press and via social media to reach a wider population and allow for greater consultation.

Mainstream schools need to do more to include children with SEND instead of expecting them to go to special school. If this funding helps that then great.

Funding to improve timescale of ASD pathway in primary school currently over 2 year wait for first appointment - diagnosis can often take years! These children continue to suffer every. Single. Day.

As a parent and someone who has previously worked in several schools, these shepherd huts look and sound good on paper, but they won’t be used for their intended purpose. They’ll become an extra workspace for groups because there isn’t space in the main building or there won’t be the staffing available to make sure all pupils that need to access it at any time can do so.

They don’t send the right message of inclusion and equality if the kids with special needs have to go off to the pod. It kind of implies to them and everyone else that they are different and not part of the mainstream.
Planning of new schools should be including these integrated safe spaces for SEND children and more needs to be done about changing whole school attitudes before coming up with more plans to separate our kids.
