Report of the Service Director, Early Help, Care, Wellbeing and Learning
Minutes:
Consideration has been given to the response to the consultation exercise on the proposed approach to commissioning a new model of Additionally Resourced Mainstream School (ARMS) provision in the primary sector in Gateshead for 2017-18 onwards and to developing the new model in partnership with schools. |

|
|
RESOLVED - |
(i) |
That the response to the consultation exercise be noted. |
|
|
|
|
(ii) |
That the implementation of the proposed pilot process during 2017-18 as set out in the report be approved. |
|
|
|
The above decisions have been made because the pilot process will inform a new ARMS model being developed in partnership with schools and implemented from September 2018, which will be delivered to the highest quality, enable the needs of children with SEND to be met and deliver positive outcomes for them and will reduce the strain on places required in special schools. |
