Pupils with Statements of Special Educational Needs

Pupils with Statements of Special Educational Needs receive help through the school’s own resources and through additional support provided by the Local Education Authority (LEA ).

There are a number of special schools as well as centres and bases attached to mainstream schools that cater for a wide range of children’s special educational needs. All special schools support integration into mainstream schools.

The Local Education Authority is responsible for deciding upon provision and placement for all pupils with Statements of Special Educational Needs (SEN ), following appropriate consultation with parents and schools.
