Located between the Chester Road (A452) and the M6 in Chelmsley Wood, the former Simon Digby school site was allocated for housing development in the 2013 Solihull Local Plan. The 4.5 ha plot has the potential to provide up to 177 new high quality sustainable family homes.

Solihull Council is developing a long term plan to ensure that Chelmsley Wood Town Centre continues to thrive and serve the needs of the local community as we witness the role of town centres changing locally and nationally.

Street Parties are events that groups of residents get together to arrange for their neighbours.

We aim to provide you with the information you need to organise a safe and enjoyable event.

In Solihull we believe that every child and young person matters. We know that many children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND) or additional needs may need more support in their life. We have therefore been working with them, their parent carers, and those who support them to write our first Additional Needs Strategy.

The sensory and physical impairment team is a highly specialist team experienced in working with children and young people who have a hearing impairment, physical disability, multi-sensory impairment or visual impairment.

I have concerns about my child’s academic progress. What do I do next?

Any concerns you as a parent/carer have regarding your child having a specific learning difficulty e.g. dyslexia, should be discussed initially with your child’s teacher and where concerns have been on-going, with the school’s Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator (SENCO).

As part of the ‘graduated approach’, schools can request additional provision from the CLD team in the form of 1:1 or small group intervention to improve pupil outcomes. Ordinarily, the focus would be on literacy or numeracy skill development.

The CLD team offers a wide variety of twilight, half and full day training packages. These can be purchased as part of a subscribing school’s allocated hours, or as a ‘spot purchase’ where a setting is non-subscribing. Courses offered are aimed at developing understanding, knowledge and skills for staff that work in schools and educational establishments to support pupils with SEND, and in turn, improve outcomes.

Enhanced SEND skills for staff in schools and settings

Some children and young people with autism may need additional support as they transition (or move) from one setting to another. A range of help is available to support you and your child or young person to prepare for a change.

Our vision is for all children and young people to attend an educational setting which they feel welcomed and where the school culture and values actively seeks to foster a sense of belonging for all. 

At whole school level, senior leaders have a crucial role to play in creating inclusive cultures within their settings.

In October 2019, members of Solihull Council unanimously recognised the scale of the climate change emergency.

Our Markets and Performance works with our providers and the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to oversee and support the raising of quality and service delivery standards

We are required to complete a Fair Cost of Care exercise to arrive at a shared understanding with providers of the local cost of providing care.

Changing the location of your Care Quality Commission (CQC) registered office, restructuring your organisation, or changing the provider responsible for your registered location, can all result in a new CQC location being created.

If you have a commissioning enquiry, are a provider and need support, or are interested in working with us to develop our adult social care services across Solihull we want to hear from you.
