Consultation on Proposed Change to VIARP Location

We are seeking your views on a proposal to relocate the Vision Impairment Additional Resource Provision (VIARP) from its current arrangement at Gosforth Academy and Gosforth Junior High Academy to Great Park Academy. This change is intended to strengthen the quality of provision and ensure more effective use of resources to support pupils with vision impairment.

Full details of the proposal, including the rationale and potential implications, are outlined in the consultation letter, which you will find below. We encourage all parents and carers to review this information carefully and share their feedback within the consultation period.

The deadline for submitting responses is 12 noon on Friday, 13th February 2026. Please ensure your views are submitted before this date to be considered.
