More infoSurrey County Council has revealed plans to expand a top-rated school for children with severe learning difficulties.
Woodlands School, in Leatherhead, could have a second location at Cranmere Primary and Nursery school in Esher - a 25-30 minute drive away.
The move will create up to 28 extra places for children with severe learning difficulties and autism, all of whom have an Education, Health Care and Plans (EHCPs).
Officers say having local specialist places means children do not have to travel far away to school.
Staff at the new site will be employed directly by Woodlands School and numbers will grow slowly over time, depending on demand.
