East Suffolk is going to host a new school for children with special educational needs, ministers confirmed last week.
Working closely with Suffolk County Council, Unity SLD School will offer specialist education for 117 pupils, plus a nursery, aged 3 to 16 with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulty (PMLD), Speech Language and Communication Needs (SLCN), Hearing Impairment (HI), Vision Impairment (VI) and Multi-Sensory Impairment (MSI).
Therese said; "When I spoke to Regional Schools Commissioner Jonathan Duff recently, I raised again using Saxmundham School as the site. He assured me it is on the list of options being considered. I will press the County Council on this as we have a perfectly good building that should be put to good use."
