It is estimated that approximately 20 per cent of
pupils will have some kind of Special Educational Need at some time
during their school life. It is expected that the majority of these
Special Needs are such that they will be met in local mainstream
schools without the additional involvement of the Council.
However, some pupils' Special Educational Needs may be such
that we may consider that some additional or special provision
is needed. This will be done in consultation with parents and
professionals, and following a full formal assessment.
This provision would be made at the local mainstream school, or
at a school or unit which has additional resourcing to meet
particular needs. As far as possible, we seek to meet pupils'
Special Educational Needs in a mainstream setting.
In some exceptional cases it may be necessary for placement to
be determined at one of the schools listed below, or at specialist
schools outside the Rochdale area.
