Plans for a west Suffolk primary school to get a new special educational needs unit, and for another to expand capacity by more than 100 places, are set to be discussed in a board meeting. 

The Department for Education's East of England Advisory Board meeting will take place on Thursday, November 21.

A published draft agenda for the meeting includes discussion of "significant changes" at Elveden CofE Primary Academy, run by the Elveden Schools Trust.

The application includes the addition of a special educational needs unit to offer places for 18 pupils aged four to seven years.

Another item on the draft agenda for discussion is a "retrospective application" for Kennett Primary School on the Suffolk/Cambridgeshire border to expand its physical capacity by 105 places.

Other discussions in the meeting, which covers the East of England area, include plans for Attleborough Primary School and Rosecroft Primary School, both in Norfolk, to convert and become an academy and join Sapientia Education Trust.

Some plans from Essex, Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire will also be discussed.
