Liberty Primary School - new specialist provision for children with Communication Needs

The London Borough of Merton is proposing to add a provision that is reserved for pupils with special educational needs to Liberty Primary School, Western Road, Mitcham CR4 3EB with effect from 1 September 2024.

The proposed special educational provision will provide 30 places for pupils with Communication Needs including children with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Admission to the provision will be decided by the Council’s SEN Panel and pupils admitted to the provision will be additional to the school’s published admission number.
