A West Derby special educational needs school is hoping to expand its sixth form site to meet pupil place demand.
As the amount of young people with special education needs (SEN) across the city continues to increase, Sandfield Park School is seeking to create an extension on its sixth form building to ensure it can accommodate the rising number of students. A planning application has been lodged by the school with Liverpool Council.
According to the documents made available by the local authority, Sandfield Park and its sixth form have a significant number of wheelchair users. The report added: “Many wheelchairs are motorised and larger than standard, plus some mobile beds for severe physical disabilities are in use in the area.
