If a school that is applying contains a key part of a local SEN provision, will it be expected to continue to provide that service if it becomes an academy?
It is our expectation that existing educational provision in the school will transfer to the academy. The local authority will need to agree the transfer of land and assets (if applicable, for example in the case of separate SEN Units) with the school and to carry out TUPE negotiations. The LA will therefore be part of the conversion process and will have the ability to influence the outcome of that process.
