15. Selby support for the special free school Establishing local, specialist provision would be a very positive move towards maintaining an inclusive approach for our children and young people with SEND (SDC) We need to form this special school, as a local hub of expertise, and to allow for appropriate and local provision for our children. (HT) A school in Selby would significantly improve the children's lives by them having less time travelling and more time at home with families. (P/C) My Daddy could pick me up. (C) If my school friends lived nearby it would be easier to build long lasting relationships. (YP)
