Proposed change to Oaklands Primary School 2026-27

We asked if you supported the proposal to increase the number of specialist places from 14 to 32 at Oaklands Primary School from the next academic year.

We received 7 online responses.

Most responses received were supportive of the proposals. Although the number of responses received was relatively low, this is not unusual for proposals of this nature. Officers do not consider the response levels to indicate a lack of awareness or engagement.

The consultation exercise generated little opposition to the proposals, and no significant issues were identified that would prevent implementation.

Officers concluded any concerns raised regarding site capacity, traffic, accessibility and operational arrangements could be appropriately addressed through subsequent design, planning and implementation processes.

Following the completion of the statutory consultation process, a decision report on 9 September 2026 agreed Oaklands Primary School shall increase the capacity of its existing SEN Unit (known as the Oaklands Centre) from 14 places to 32 places.

Parents, staff, governors, relevant local members and other key stakeholders will be made aware of this decision and will be able to access the relevant statutory consultation report.
