Transitions for children and young people without an EHCP

You can use the mainstream admissions process to apply for a school place.

Finding a school that is right for your child or young person

Every school must publish a SEN information report. This sets out the support the school provides for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND). The report should explain how the school:

• uses its teaching, curriculum and learning environment to support children with SEND
• works together with children and their parents
• supports children as they move to a new phase of education and helps them prepare for adulthood

You can use our SEND Local Offer Directory to find each primary and secondary school's SEN information report:

• search for primary schools
• search for secondary schools
