Specialist Resource Bases 2023

Overview

UPDATE

On 19 and 20 July, in her role as Decision Maker, Sara Tough, the Executive Director of Children's Services, agreed that the following proposals should be implemented :-

Establishment of Specialist Resource Bases in the following schools, as detailed below from the dates stated:-

We appreciate that some children and young people can struggle to engage with learning and cope in a classroom without additional strategies and interventions. A Specialist Resource Base (SRB) can support children to overcome their barriers to learning, to be better able to cope and to be re-integrated into a mainstream school setting, in which they can achieve their potential. 

Each school proposal (available at the bottom of this page) is part of Norfolk County Council’s Local First Inclusion which is the county council’s six-year special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) improvement programme.  We are committed to reviewing and developing Special Education Needs & Disability (SEND) provision as part of Norfolk’s Local Offer of support to children, young people and families.
