Springfield Wilmslow - proposal to expand by an additional 20 places

Springfield Wilmslow opened in January 2024, it is a satellite school of Springfield School, Crewe, which supports pupils with Severe Learning Difficulties and Complex Needs. 

We are consulting on a proposal to expand Springfield Wilmslow by an additional 20 places for pupils between ages 4 to 16 increasing the overall capacity from the current 80 places to 100 places. 

The proposal, if agreed, would involve increasing the accommodation at Springfield Wilmslow by 2 classrooms along with providing some ancillary spaces. The scheme would involve the refurbishment and repurposing of the adjacent former community centre building for use by the school. 

In 2023 the Council published online its updated Sufficiency Statement for Children and Young People with Special Educational Needs (PDF 1.48KB). The document highlights the specialist provision necessary within the Borough and provides the evidence base for the associated  SEN plan 2023-2026.
