Significant Changes to Maintained schools

The Council has proposed the creation of specialised resource provision at:

• Romiley Primary School

• Marple Hall School

• Priestnall School

A resource provision sits within a mainstream school and provides support for those, who without specialist input, are unlikely to make progress in their learning and will struggle to take part in mainstream school life. In time, it is expected they will be able to attend the majority of their mainstream lessons and take part with others.?

We think it is important that children and families have the choice of attending their local mainstream school. By creating new provision in these communities it means that the majority of children and their needs can be met locally.

A consultation and representation period has been held to hear the views of our residents and other stakeholders, this reports discusses those findings.
