Mainstream schools with SEN provision (17)

Mainstream schools that record a SEN unit, resourced provision, or particular needs they cater for, alongside their ordinary classes. Not every school publishes unit places, so a row without them is not a school without provision.

Unit places come from the school census and describe the position when it was taken, not today. Confirm with the local authority before relying on them.
