Controversial Liverpool special schools consultation extended

A consultation on relocating children with special educational needs across Liverpool has been extended.

Liverpool Council is giving stakeholders two more weeks to make their views known on proposals to move children from three city special schools and pupil referral units. A public engagement exercise was launched in March on the possibility of Bank View School on Long Lane relocating 14 miles away to Parklands in Speke.

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.
