Step 1 - consider your preferred schools
We encourage you to look at a number of different schools and ask each one how they'll meet your child's specific special education needs.
The support your child requires is listed in section F of their EHC plan. Schools will work closely with you to ensure your child's needs are met.
Consider your preferred schools
Will my child go to a special school?
Only a small number of children with an EHC plan will go to a special school.
Places for special schools are limited and will be allocated to children with the most severe learning difficulties first.
If you choose a specialist school as your preferred school, we recommend you also choose a mainstream school as a second preference.
