We’re pleased to share that more specialist school places will soon be available for children and young people with special educational needs across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.
It is proposed that the former Parkfield School site will become a new satellite of Linwood School, offering spaces for children with autism, ADHD, learning disabilities and SEMH needs.
By creating more local specialist places, we’re helping children stay closer to home, reducing travel times and strengthening support for families.
Cllr Richard Burton, Portfolio Holder for Children and Young People, said:
“We know that timely access to the right specialist support can be lifechanging for children and young people and for their families. The new campus proposed at the former Parkfield site will mean more children can access quality specialist places within the BCP area."
More updates will follow as the site develops.
