The school's Governing Body has a legal duty to do their best to make sure that pupils with SEN get what they need.

The headteacher is responsible for the day to day management of all areas of the school's work. This includes support for children with SEN. The headteacher will keep the Governing Body fully informed.

The Local Authority shares out money to schools so that they can support children with SEN. The Local Authority also helps schools through the support services (specialists from education and health) and has responsibility for children with statements. |
