5,900 schools with SEND provision SEND School Finder Find schools with the right support for your child's special educational needs. Filter by SEN need type, provision type, and location — all based on official DfE data.
Understanding SEND provision Schools in England report their SEN provision to the DfE. This includes the types of needs they cater for, whether they have specialist units or resourced provision, and how many pupils have EHC plans.
What is SEND? SEND stands for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. A child has SEN if they have a learning difficulty or disability that requires special educational provision beyond what is normally available in a mainstream setting.
EHC Plans An Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan is a legal document that describes a child's special educational needs and the support they require. Schools display how many pupils with EHC plans they support.
Choosing the right school The right school depends on your child's individual needs. Use our filters to find schools that specialise in your child's area of need, then visit shortlisted schools to see if they are the right fit.
