V2 What does SEN support look like?

Most children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) attend a mainstream school. With the right support in place, all children can make good progress in our inclusive schools. 

Each school or setting has:

  • a member of staff called a Special Educational Needs Coordinator (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 

You'll find SEND policies and information about SEN support on your school's website.
