This report presents the outcome of the stage one consultation, and the public representations received in response to the proposal to change the resource designation at George Green’s School, from Complex Needs to Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and increase its number of places from 15 to 20, as well as the proposal to close the Hydro pool at the school.

The report explains the background and reasons for the stage one consultation; the responses received with the views of parents, pupils, staff, and the public. Its purpose is to enable the Mayor in cabinet to decide whether or not the council should proceed to stage two of the process, which would be to issue a formal statutory notice informing of the intention for the change of designation to ASC and increase the number of places from 15 to 20 from 1 January 2023.

The report also explains the background and rationale on the proposal to close the Hydropool at George Green’s School as part of the school’s rebuild plan. This is for information purposes, as a decision by the Mayor in Cabinet is not required on this element, given that the final decision sits with the Board of Trustees at the school.

The report includes a summary of representations received and any responses made; risk and opportunities; officer’s recommendations; decisions available to the Mayor in Cabinet.
