Hull City Council’s continued support of secondary SEND pupils in the city saw a brand-new provision opened this week.
Four classrooms, a science room, sensory room, parents’ room and extended dining area and associated facilities, plus a secure and accessible entrance, has been delivered on the site of Francis Askew Primary School.
Up to 25 SEND pupils aged 11 to 16 will benefit from the building which helps to address requirements in Hull. The site will be used by Rising Stars, part of Rise Academy, which is a member of the Constellation Trust.
Cllr Linda Tock, portfolio holder for children’s services at the council, said -
“This is a brilliant new facility created for Rising Stars.
“Witnessing the children in this environment and how much it is benefitting them is fantastic to see.
“The enthusiasm and passion from both staff and students shone throughout our visit.
“This project outlines the council’s continued commitment to support SEND pupils in Hull.”
The Constellation Trust praised the council for its vital investment for the expansion of Rising Stars which will serve children and young people with an EHCP and is set to transform opportunities for some of the region’s most vulnerable learners.
