Hob Green Primary School – proposal to add a SEND Unit at Hob Green Primary School to meet the needs of pupils with complex communication and cognition barriers outlined in an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Notice is given in accordance with Academies Act 2010, drb Ignite Multi Academy Trust intends to make a prescribed alteration to Hob Green Primary School.
drb Ignite Multi Academy Trust is consulting on proposals to make this SEND unit at Hob Green Primary School. The unit will be a permanent addition to the school. Hob Green Primary School is a one-form entry primary school located in the South of Dudley and takes pupils aged from 3-11. It has a capacity of 210 pupils plus a Specialist Resource Base with a capacity of 18. The proposed unit will increase the school’s maximum number to 240 plus Nursery.
Dudley Council has selected Hob Green Primary School to develop an inclusive provision where pupils will be taught in a dedicated unit by specialist staff with opportunities to integrate into mainstream classes as and when appropriate.
It is anticipated that this will provide an appropriate education for up to 12 pupils and will provide an evidence-based solution for drb Ignite MAT and Dudley Council to support our SEND children across the Dudley Borough, providing the curriculum, environment and staff they need without a move into a specialist setting.
