West Sussex County Council are proposing plans to create 170 additional school places across the county for children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities.

The proposals include expanding the capacity at Oak Grove College in Worthing and Queen Elizabeth II Silver Jubilee School in Horsham.

A public consultation is also now open on the council’s proposed expansion of St Anthony’s School in Chichester.

The plans are part of the local authority’s commitment to ensuring children, young people and families with SEND are given the support they need to thrive.
