Summary
Leicestershire County Council is set to open a $30 million special needs school in Husbands Bosworth by September 2028, designed to serve over 250 pupils and ease a critical shortage in the Harborough district. With hundreds of children currently waiting for placements and families forced to travel far or seek out-of-county options, this new facility aims to deliver vital, locally accessible education. Though the upfront cost is steep, officials argue it’s a smarter investment than paying for expensive independent placements annually. The school will feature modern amenities including dining halls, arts studios, and sports fields — all aimed at creating a supportive environment for SEND students. While the 2028 deadline is ambitious, the council remains committed to delivering this much-needed expansion in specialized education.
