A group of parents have got to the last stage with DFe of opening a free school "Lighthouse' in Leeds. They are looking for children who potentially would be eligible to start next Sept 2012 and are holding meetings on 17 & 19 Oct:
"We are running two parent focus groups/coffee mornings over the next few
weeks to ensure that parents currently considering their high school
provision have a clear understanding of Lighthouse as a potential
provision and its admission process, but it is also an opportunity to meet other parents and discuss concerns or offer suggestions. This is your chance to inform vital elements of the school at this crucial set-up phase ? we
would welcome your input.
The groups are kindly being hosted by Pudsey Grangefield School and there
will be a chance to see the Lighthouse site (adjacent to PGS) and the
plans for its development.
PUDSEY GRANGEFIELD SCHOOL, MOUNT PLEASANT ROAD, PUDSEY, LEEDS LS28 7ND

Parents of any age children with ASD are welcome to attend but if your
child would be eligible (age 11/12) for starting in September 2012 or 2013
