New Special Needs School Approved in Gidea Park
Update: 2025-12-14
Description
Havering Council approves new special needs school in Gidea Park, aiming to accommodate over 300 students with diverse needs. The Balgore Lane school, planned for a former playing field, will serve ages 4-19 with challenges like Autism, SEMH, and severe learning difficulties. Despite concerns over lost recreational space, the council expects the school to ease social care budget pressure by reducing out-of-borough placements.
