Reasons for decision
The Cabinet Member for Children, Families and Education noted the rising demand for special education needs in the Borough and how this would be met through a programme of additional capital works linked to the DSG safety valve agreement. Cabinet, therefore approved a specialist assessment base and Autistic Spectrum Disorder Specialist Resource Provision at Ruislip Gardens Primary school following consideration of the consultation responses.
The Cabinet Member welcomed the benefit of establishing locally based support in a mainstream school setting that would reduce the cost of out of Borough placements and future proof local schools for residents.
Alternative options considered and rejected
Cabinet could have decided not to progress the proposal to expand specialist support at the school site.
