Consultation has concluded
Outcome: This proposal was approved In July 2020.
Oxfordshire County Council, working with the Governing Body of the school, proposes to expand the secondary phase of John Watson School by 16 places from September 2022 onward. This would increase the overall capacity of the school from 91 to 107 places and would secure long-term provision for sixth form pupils.
The proposed expansion of John Watson School is noted in Oxfordshire County Council's Special Educational Needs & Disability Sufficiency of Places Strategy (approved by Cabinet in December 2018).
The proposed expansion would be part funded from the Special Provision Fund government grant. This proposal has been informed by the open consultation carried out by the county council between 25 January and 22 February 2018, which allowed all those with an interest in provision for children and young people with SEND to feed back their views on the proposed plan for allocating this funding.
The proposed expansion would:
Be supportive of high educational standards for SEN education provision. John Watson School is rated Good by Ofsted (last inspected May 2016)
Provide more special school places for Oxfordshire's growing pupil population
Make it easier and quicker to place pupils with SEND in appropriate education
Reduce the county council's expenditure on high cost places at independent schools
The full details of this proposal are included in the full proposal.
