Legal Justification

In order to address the sufficiency risk relating to specialist school places for pupils transitioning from mainstream primary education from September 2026. Justification for a direct award is due to the absence of competition for technical reasons, and that there is no reasonable alternative option to secure the education services required. This provider is identified to be the only school able to meet the specific educational needs of the cohort in question, offering specialist secondary education places within Nottingham City.
