Eastern Learning Alliance would like to hear your views on our proposal for Downham Market Academy, Bexwell Road, Downham Market, PE38 9LL, to add a 20 place Autism Specialist Resource Base (ASD SRB) from September 2026.
We appreciate that young people with autism can struggle to engage with learning and succeed in a classroom without additional strategies and interventions. A Resource Base can support young people to overcome their barriers to learning, be better able to succeed and to be re-integrated into a mainstream setting, in which they can achieve their potential.
We are very keen to provide this support at Downham Market Academy. Our Specialist Resource Base will be located within the Downham Market Academy main site and will be fully integrated within the school. The Base will be managed by the head of school and governance arrangements of Downham Market Academy and the Eastern Learning Alliance.
