Buckinghamshire councillors have lambasted the Government for ‘going back on its promise’ to fund a much-needed SEND school providing more than 150 places. A proposed free school in Bucks, known only broadly as ‘Buckinghamshire Special School’, is one of the ones facing the chop. In practice, that usually means the council is being given money to create the required specialist places in other ways. Buckinghamshire Special School was to provide school 152 places. In protest of the funding decision, Bucks council plans to make representations to the Government by before March.
