Deanesfield SEN Information Report
What does SEND mean?
A child or young person aged from 0 to 25 years has special educational needs or disability (SEND) if they:
- have a learning difficulty or disability which makes it much harder for them to learn than other pupils of the same age
- they require special educational provision to be made for them
SEN is a legal term. A detailed description can be found in the SEND Code of Practice (SEN on page 15 and disability on page 16). Or you can read the easy-read version of the SEND Code of Practice from Mencap.
Different types of special educational needs or disability (SEND)
Children with SEND may need extra help or support, or special provision made for them to have the same opportunities of other children of their age.
