Resource Bases - introduction

Southend-on-Sea City Council aim to deliver a range of high-quality provision for all children and young people with SEND. In addition to mainstream and specialist settings the Local Authority commission a number of resource bases (sometimes called Enhanced Provision) that provides support for:

  • pupils with autistic spectrum disorders (ASD).
  • pupils with speech and language disorder or significant language delay
  • pupils with a diverse range of additional learning needs.

The table below shows the location of resource bases, provision type, age ranges and the number of places when fully open.
