The number of Education, Health and Care Plans in Knowsley is expected to more than double between 2020-2026

A new £5m project has been approved in one part of Merseyside which will result in a significant increase of school places for pupils with Special Educational Needs and/or Disabilities . Knowsley Council’s Cabinet met on Wednesday November 20 and endorsed plans to expand capacity at Alt Bridge School in Huyton and provide additional school places for children with SEND.

Phase 2 would see the relocation of post-16 provision to existing vacant space at the Kirkby Centre which will free up a building on the existing site to create more spaces for younger pupils. The local authority said the moving the post-16 provision to the Kirkby Centre offers opportunities to enhance the learning offer and support pupils with the essential skills as they move into adulthood and employment.
