Leighton Primary Academy - Proposal to Include SEN Unit
As their ongoing sufficiency planning for children with special educational needs, Cheshire East have identified that there is a need within the Crewe area to provide at least 20 places in a SEN Unit for children with primary need of cognition and learning / speech language and communication.
Cheshire East local authority has identified the Crewe area as one that has a large number of children with the level of need that could be best met within a SEN unit. Due to the commitment of the school and the Trust to supporting all children that form part of their community, as well as the level of expertise and experience of educating children with this level of need, Leighton Academy expressed their interest in developing a SEN Unit.
If the proposal goes ahead 20 places will be offered to children with a primary need of cognition and learning / speech language and communication across Key Stage 1 and 2 who have an EHCP and the Unit at the school is named as their preferred provision. The allocation of a place in the SEN Unit will be given by the local authority SEN Panel.
