New plans have been drawn up to address the increasing need for school places for children with special educational needs and disabilities across Liverpool.
Last year, as part of its proposals to meet the “dramatic increase” in need for school places, Liverpool Council had suggested Bank View School on Long Lane in Fazakerley should relocate 14 miles away to Parklands in Speke. Following a lengthy consultation and widespread concern from parents, the local authority shelved those proposals and is now embarking on a new public engagement programme.
Stakeholders across the city are now being asked to feed back on plans to create Bank View South, a satellite of Bank View High School, at the former Parklands School site, Ganworth Road. Bank View School would remain at its site in Fazakerley, but a new satellite site would open at Parklands for children with complex needs.
