The Kedleston Group has submitted plans to Enfield Council for a new school in Clay Hill to address the current shortage of educational placements for children with special educational needs (SEND). The proposed facility, catering to 54 pupils aged seven to 16, aims to address the overflow from Silverways School, which has had to decline admissions due to capacity issues. The new school seeks to utilize the existing footprint of a derelict stable and includes enhanced educational facilities and connection to nature, alongside improved parking infrastructure. It represents a smaller scale response after initial larger proposals were rejected by the council due to community concerns.
The Kedleston Group plans to create a new school for special educational needs in Enfield, offering 54 places for children age 7 to 16.
If built, this school will serve pupils with autism and complex needs, easing pressure as Silverways School has declined 25 pupils due to capacity issues.
The proposal is for a smaller school, responding to council feedback about initial plans for an 80-pupil facility amid growing demand for SEND places.
