A School for Every Child…

With the government’s SEND reforms currently under review, there is a renewed focus on strengthening local services and provision. This gives us a vital opportunity to press North Yorkshire Council for improved, locally accessible education and support for our children and families.

The BBC’s upcoming Panorama investigation will reveal that despite the alarming rise in Autism and ADHD diagnoses among children in Scarborough and Whitby, there are still no local special schools offering full-time education for neurodivergent children without complex learning needs. Instead, provision is concentrated in the more affluent central areas of North Yorkshire. Despite high levels of deprivation and the significant challenges families face in Scarborough, the town has been consistently overlooked – leaving children and young people without the education they deserve close to home.

This is a crucial moment to make our voices heard and lobby our Local Authority before the window of opportunity to shape future provision closes.

IT’S AN OPPORTUNITY THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO MISS.
