Issue - meetings

During the summer of 2015 Surrey County Council undertook a consultation to consider changes to primary schools in the Waverley area of Surrey.  It was proposed that William Cobbett Junior School would amalgamate with Weybourne Infant become a primary school from 1 September 2015.  The proposal was approved by the Cabinet Member for Schools, Skills and Educational Achievement in July 2015 and the first cohort of Year R pupils entered at the school from September 2015

Officers are proposing to extend the age range of the specialist centre for pupils with Communication and Interaction Needs (COIN) in order to align the SEND offer with the school age range.  This means that the school would be able to accommodate pupils from Reception year who could stay through until year 6, if their needs are still able to be met by the school.  It is proposed that numbers in the centre increase from 20 to 30.

It was agreed that the change in age range and increase in pupil numbers at William Cobbett Primary School’s specialist COIN centre be approved, taking into account the outcome of the informal and statutory consultation period.
