Consultation on Proposal to relocate East Hartford Special School

A 5 week consultation began on 19 April on a proposal to relocate East Hartford Special School to the site of Bebside Middle School in Blyth after the latter closes on 31 August 2010.

The proposal to relocated East Hartford is being put forward because the current school building is no longer adequate to meet the modern curricular needs of pupils attending the school.  Furthermore, there is little scope to improve the buildings through extension as the size of the site is restricted and there is poor access. 

Full details of the proposal and the rationale behind it are given in the Consultation Document available to download here.  Responses to the consultation must be received by 4.00 p.m. on Monday 24th May 2010.

In addition to the consultation document, there will be a public meeting on the proposals at Bebside Middle School on Monday 17 May at 7.00 p.m.  Anyone with an interest is welcome to attend.

If approved, East Hartford would relocate to the new site in Blyth in time for the beginning of the Autumn Term in 2010.
