Report by Director for Children’s Services (CMDCEF4).

 

The proposal is to formally close the Communication & Interaction Resource Base at Queensway School in Banbury. There are no children attending this resource base.

 

This forms part of strategic changes to the services the Oxfordshire SENSS team are carrying out. The provision required has altered as technological and medical developments have progressed, and therefore the service provided will not remain the same.

 

Schools in the partnership have shown they can meet the needs of all but the most complex pupils with C&I needs in their local schools with the specialist advisory support from existing services including SENSS. There is NO reduction in budget. Services are being deployed to intervene earlier and empower schools to meet the needs of pupils now and those who will join the school in the future.

 

The Cabinet is RECOMMENDED to approve the closure of the Communication & Interaction Resource Base at Queensway School.
