Stanley and Pensby Consultation
The local authority maintains three primary special schools for children who experience complex learning difficulties (CLD). These are Elleray Park, Stanley and The Lyndale School. All of these schools are in old buildings and, despite having been considerably improved over the years, find it difficult to provide the children with the modern, quality educational environment they deserve.
As a consequence, and following a detailed consultation process, in April 2009 Wirral’s Cabinet gave approval for the re-building of Elleray Park and Stanley and for a feasibility
study into the establishment of a 2-19 school for children with the most profound needs. The rebuild of Stanley School has been given priority. This is because, of the three schools, it
is the least fit for purpose. The buildings are cramped, demand high maintenance and are not accessible to wheelchair users.
The proposal under consultation is for a new Stanley School to be built and co-located with the new build Pensby Primary School, the plans for the latter being well under way. The construction of the two schools would retain each of their own identities but would create common areas, which would be to the benefit of each. They would each retain their own head teachers and boards of governors but would work together to the benefit of both the schools and local community. Pooling building budgets would, however, create economies to provide facilities, which neither could afford on their own. These facilities – extended services, hydrotherapy and leisure pools, meeting spaces, indoor sports, gym and drama areas – will also have the potential of being available to the local community.
