Valley Invicta – Holborough Lakes

Consultation has concluded

stack of books

Valley Invicta Academy Trust (VIAT), with support from Kent County Council (KCC) and the school’s Local Governing Body, asked for your views on a proposal to change the designation of the existing Specialist Resource Provision (SRP) at Valley Invicta Primary School at Holborough Lakes from Social Emotional and Mental Health needs (SEMH) to ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder).

This is being proposed because both KCC and VIAT have found that the local need for placements for ASD is greater than for SEMH. KCC have identified that ASD is the fastest growing need type, and that, as a result, there is a greater need for ASD provisions. KCC have therefore requested that VIAT continue to extend and build on the existing expertise and provisions that we already have within the Trust to meet the local need for pupils with ASD.
