Issue - meetings

Having considered an officer report, and a presentation by the Cabinet

Member for School Performance and Children’s Services, Councillor Chris

Barnham, the Mayor and Cabinet agreed that:

(1) the results of the consultation conducted on the proposal to

alter the SEN provision at Deptford Green School be noted;

(2) the designation of the SEN provision at Deptford Green School be altered

from Dyslexia to ASD from Autumn 2019 so as to enable new entrants with a primary diagnosis of ASD from September 2020.

The report was presented by Councillor Barnham who laid out the rationale

for the suggested change. The proposals were welcomed by Councillor

Dacres who believed mainstream support could be most effective for children

in the autism spectrum.
