Parents views sought in bid to relocate special schools

A series of public engagement events is to be held as part of a proposal that would see special schools moved across Liverpool.

A consultation has been launched that could lead to special educational needs and disability (SEND) school pupils being transferred to a site 14 miles away. Liverpool Council is staging an engagement exercise touting the possibility of three city special schools and pupil referral units changing locations in a bid to meet demand for places.

The non-statutory consultation will ask stakeholders for their thoughts on proposals for Bank View School on Long Lane to relocate 14 miles away to Parklands in Speke. Consideration will also be given to Princes School on Selborne Street moving to Redbridge School on Long Lane, while Redbridge would move into Bank View as they occupy the same site.
