Following the proposal by Surrey County Council, in conjunction with the Governing Body of Stepgates Community School, to expand our Speech, Language and Communication Needs (SLCN) designated SEN Unit by eight places, from 21 places to 29 places in total, I am delighted to announce that, apart from one or two final touches, the building work has been completed.

All pupils placed by Surrey County Council in the SEN Unit will have a diagnosis of SLCN and will have an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP) specifying the specialist provision within the school as an appropriate placement to meet their individual needs.
