Special educational needs

We work in partnership with our schools and also provide specialist support services and facilities for a range of learning and behavioural problems, and for physical and sensory impairments.

Support for pupils, in mainstream schools, without a statement is clearly set out in the descriptors for primary and secondary provision and secondary provision at School Action and School Action Plus.

These are shown in the related documents section along with a leaflet from the Local Inclusion Officer Service.

Other provision includes enhanced resource schools (ERS), special schools, and specialist nurseries.

The Parent Partnership Service (opens in a new window) is an impartial service offering support for parents and carers of children with special needs and at risk of exclusion.
