Mainstream schools and nurseries welcome all children and young people. This includes those with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). Most go to a mainstream school or nursery.
Each school and nursery has:
- a SEND policy and information about the school's SEND offer
- a member of staff called a SENCO who oversees SEND support
- SEN support plans
- an accessibility plan setting out how children and young people with disabilities can be supported
- teachers trained to support a wide range of students
- the option to ask for more support from our Newcastle City Council SEND service teams
The SEND policy and information can be found on the school or nursery website. Speak with the school or nursery if you can't find it.
