W. England
Proposals to open a new Special Educational Needs (SEN) school in Southport have been approved. . . .
The new venture by Aspris Children’s Services Limited would host up to 18 pupils, aged 16-25 years old, and would create jobs for 23 full-time employed staff.
A planning application for the scheme has been granted by Sefton Council. . . . .
“The school would have up to 23 members of staff across various roles however it is unlikely they will be on site at the same time. . . .
“The development proposals comprise the change of use from a former medical centre to a Special Educational Needs (SEN) day school.
“The school will provide educational facilities for pupils with social emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs and or autistic spectrum conditions (ASC) and associated conditions.
“Twelve car parking spaces will be provided in the rear car park for staff, whilst 8 parking spaces will be provided in the front car park to facilitate taxi drop-off / pick-up.
“Due to the nature of the site, pupils will travel in shared taxis.”
Aspiris Children’s Services say on their website: “At Aspiris Children’s Services (formerly known as Priory Education and Children’s Services), we always see potential and dedicate ourselves to delivering positive change for children.
“Whether we are working with young people with autism, learning difficulties, social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) difficulties or supporting some of society’s most vulnerable children, we are committed to helping each child to achieve their unique goals and aspirations.”
