NEXT week councillors will decide on plans to extend the Silverwood School to create a super school for SEND pupils.
On Wednesday, October 6 Strategic Planning will decide whether or not to give plans to extend the former Rowdeford School.
The Silverwood School campus are part of a £33m investment to create up to 400 special school places for children in the region.
In July, Wiltshire Council's cabinet agreed to £5.5283m more in funding for the proposed build.

The build will see an extension built on the existing Rowdeford site to accommodate up to 400 pupils as part of a new special school (Silverwood) by September 2023.
Silverwood in Rowde, is an amalgamation of the St Nicholas, Rowdeford and Larkrise school. The St Nicholas and Larkrise schools will stay open until the new school is ready for pupils and the council notes “appropriate to consider children/young people transitioning to the new site at Rowdeford”.
It is hoped that Silverwood will be a centre for excellence.
