SPECIAL SCHOOL PROVISION IN COVENTRY

Early day motion 466, tabled 12 July 2010 by Jim Cunningham (Labour). Signed by 7 members.

That this House condemns the effect that the abolition of the Building Schools for the Future programme will have on the Alice Stevens, Sherbourne Fields and Baginton Fields Special Schools in Coventry; notes that these schools were due to be combined into two new broad spectrum schools, in brand new buildings alongside two partner mainstream schools, in a very progressive move for special educational provision in Coventry; further notes that significant time and resources had already been invested in this project by parents, teachers and governors; further notes that the current buildings are not suitable for the wide range of special needs of the pupilswho attend them; and supports the Federated Governing Body of these schools inits call for this decision to be reversed.

Signatures by party: Labour 7.
