Bold plans have been approved by Dorset Council for a new SEND facility to be created at St Mary’s School in Shaftesbury, which was formerly a private school.
Dorset Council would like to turn the buildings into a centre for young people with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities.
The school which closed in July last year, will remain a community asset and a consultation on its future use will start soon.
