Consultation on Closure of SEMH Provision at Bradford Academy

Bradford Academy faces potential closure of its SEMH provision

Governors at Bradford Academy have announced a consultation regarding the proposed closure of the Local Authority led Social, Emotional and Mental Health (SEMH) provision at the school. This move has raised questions about the future support available for pupils with SEMH needs in the local area.

Details of the consultation

The consultation process aims to gather views from stakeholders including parents, staff, and the wider community on the potential closure. The SEMH provision at Bradford Academy currently supports pupils who require additional help with social, emotional, and mental health challenges, providing tailored educational and pastoral support.

Impact and considerations

• The SEMH provision is led by the Local Authority and is integrated within Bradford Academy.
• The proposed closure would mean that pupils currently supported by this provision may need to seek alternative arrangements.
• Consultation responses will inform the final decision made by the governors.

Next steps

Those interested in contributing to the consultation are encouraged to respond within the designated period set out by the governors. The outcome of the consultation will be communicated once a decision has been reached.

Further information and details on how to participate in the consultation can be obtained through the Bradford Schools Online website.
