A new special school opens its doors

Published
Over £1 million has been spent to refurbish the old Severn View Primary School in Stroud to turn it into a 60-place specialist primary school for children with moderate and additional learning difficulties (MALD).

The building has been refurbished and the school will be run by the SAND Academies Trust.

We opened a £9.75 million 80-place secondary special school last September and we have also recently announced another £16.5 million in funding for a new 200-place special school for both primary and secondary pupils to address the need for more specialist places in the county.
