Special Needs Education
Supporting children with additional support needs
Special schools provide care and education for children and young adults with additional support needs, such as specific learning difficulties, physical or mental health conditions or social, emotional and behavioural problems. Profiles of special schools in membership of SCIS are included on the Find a School page, right. More information about the care and education they provide, and the funding arrangements, can be found in the leaflet, Special Schools - Additional Support Needs, on the right.
Supporting children with mild and moderate learning difficulties in mainstream schools
Children who have relatively mild or moderate learning difficulties can be supported in many mainstream independent schools. The level of learning support provision varies from school to school, so you are advised to contact individual schools direct for specific information.
