Project Information

Aim of this consultation North Somerset Council is consulting on the possible expansion of Baytree Special School (Baytree School) from a 72 to a 120-place school, formally with effect from September 2021. The 120-place school would be located across two sites, the current location in Weston-super-Mare and a new site potentially on land adjacent to Brookfield Walk, Clevedon, BS21 6YG.

Close Date 25 Oct 2019 23:59
Consultation Topic
  • Communities: including local partnerships, neighbourhoods, equalities, crime and anti-social behaviour
  • Education and early years: including organisation of pre-school and schools, SEND, children’s centres
  • Environment: including rubbish and recycling, climate-related issues, parks and open spaces, footpaths
  • Children, young people and families: including fostering, transition to adult social services, youth justice
Context for this consultation Views are sought on whether there is support to provide extra school places to cater for the requirements of children and young people with Severe and Profound Learning needs. While there is a link between the expansion and the creation of buildings on a new site, a planning consultation will consider whether the proposed site – Brookfield Walk in Clevedon – should be developed.
