Parents launch playground fundraiser after 30 North Tyneside SEND children moved to a 'satellite' school site

Parents of around 30 pupils are fundraising to provide their kids with outdoor play equipment after they were moved at short notice.

Rather than being taught at the main school in Wallsend, some of the special needs children at Beacon Hill School were moved to the Langdale Centre instead.

The school caters for those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) - such as ADHD and autism - but has been oversubscribed. Due to a lack of space on the main site, the cohort of 30, chosen because they were deemed to be most likely to be adversely affected, will be taught for the year at the council-owned Langdale Centre.
