A major investment of £15 million will see 204 extra places for pupils with special educational needs in Bristol.
Bristol City Council will use new funding from the Department for Education to expand special needs schools across the city, with the new specialist places created in two years. The money will be spent on constructing new school buildings and refurbishing current ones.
Demand for special needs places in Bristol is rapidly rising, and the city has faced several problems with its special educational needs and disability (SEND) provision. Mayor Marvin Rees said the new investment will help meet this growing demand.
