Proposal to Make Changes to Skilts School

Skilts School is a Birmingham community special school located outside the City boundary in Redditch, Worcestershire. 

The School can currently offer up to 90 places for pupils aged 5 - 11 years who have a Education and Health Care Plan (EHCP) for Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH). 

The Interim executive Board (IEB) of Skilts Special School is consulting on a proposal to make a temporary change to the school, namely,

• Alter the age range of Skilts Special School from 5 - 11 to 5 -12 years.
• This will allow the current Year 6 to remain at the school for an additional year in Year 7.

Why We Are Consulting

The IEB would like to give all current and future parents and all other interested parties the opportunity to comment on the proposal to alter the age range of Skilts School from 5 -11 years to 5 - 12 years with effect from 1st September 2020.

This is a temporary change for one year.

This will allow current year 6 pupils to remain at Skilts Special School for a further year in year 7.

The consultation will run for 5 weeks from Monday 4th May 2020 to Friday 5th June 2020.

Full details of the changes are explained in the proposal document below.
