Consultation on moving schools 14 miles across Liverpool won't be resolved until December

The findings of a consultation on relocating children with special educational needs across Liverpool are not likely to be heard until December.

In February, Liverpool Council ’s cabinet signed off on a public engagement exercise to gather views on the possibility of Bank View School on Long Lane relocating 14 miles away to Parklands in Speke. The proposals, which were extended by two further weeks in May, will now not be fully compiled until towards the end of the year, according to an email seen by the LDRS, around two months later than expected.

The consultation also asked for views on moving Princes School on Selborne Street to Redbridge School on Long Lane, while Redbridge would move into Bank View as they occupy the same site. The viability of New Heights Key Stage 4 site relocating from Parklands to the vacant school premises on Naylorsfield Drive is also being considered.
