Previous Page 11 of 29 Next 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.
