Plans announced to formally establish SEN provision in East Riding schools
Proposals have been put forward to formally establish special educational needs (SEN) provision at a number of schools across the East Riding.
East Riding of Yorkshire Council has issued a public notice outlining plans to introduce formally approved Enhanced Resource Provisions or SEN units at eight maintained schools in the area.
The move would allow the schools to provide additional support for pupils with special educational needs or disabilities.
The schools named in the proposal are Brough Primary School, Thorngumbald Primary School, Inmans Primary School in Hedon, Willerby Carr Lane Primary School, Cherry Burton Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, Hornsea Community Primary School, Hornsea School and Language College, and Withernsea High School.
Under the proposal, the schools would formally issue notices of prescribed alterations to establish the enhanced provision.
The council said the aim is to create locally based support for children and young people who require additional assistance beyond that typically available within mainstream education.
Members of the public can submit comments or objections to the proposal by email or post to the council’s school organisation team.
Responses must be received by April 23, 2026.
The full proposal can be viewed on the council’s website or obtained from the council’s School Organisation Officer.
