SCHOOL bosses have reassured residents they plan to reopen a popular community hub to the public after temporarily turning it into a space for students. Clacton Coastal Academy, in Pathfields Road, Clacton, runs the Coastal Community Centre which hosts support groups, activities, and parenting courses. It also provides the more isolated of residents with a space to socialise with people and build relationships and the provisions on offer are not exclusive to school users. After the initial coronavirus lockdown, the centre reopened and helped keep people connected through what was, and continues to be, a testing period for many. But according to Clacton North councillor Andy Wood the community site has been closed to the public since October, which he is unhappy about.

A staff restructure is to be brought in at a large coastal school to ensure students get the very best support - but a community leader says he is very worried about its potential impact.
Clacton Coastal Academy has recently concluded a consultation on the restructure understood to affect teaching assistants, which will see changes to current roles but some additional roles created.
A spokesman said: The changes we are putting in place are designed to ensure our students get the very best support they need in the right areas.

SCHOOL bosses are believed to have axed as many as18 learning support assistant roles as part of a major shake-up which they say will ensure students get the “very best” support. Clacton Coastal Academy, which is part of the Academies Enterprise Trust, recently carried out a consultation looking into a possible staff restructure at the Pathfields Road school. As a result, the educational institution’s 30 teaching assistant positions are said to have now been cut down to just 12 although new roles are being created. This is despite a report commissioned in 2019 by the Department of Education which found cuts to teaching assistants negatively impacts special needs pupils.
