Questions parents ask
Which schools in Derbyshire support dyslexia and other specific learning difficulties?
Brackenfield Special School, Swanwick School and Sports College, Chapel-en-le-Frith CofE VC Primary School and Outwood Academy Newbold.
How do I get a place at a special school in Derbyshire?
Places at special schools usually come through an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. If your child has one, ask Derbyshire council (or the council that looks after the plan) to consult the school you want. If a council, academy, non-maintained or Section 41 school is named in the plan, it must admit your child.
Who can help me with an EHC plan in Derbyshire?
Derbyshire SENDIASS gives free, independent advice on EHC plans, meetings and appeals. The council’s Local Offer explains what support is available locally.
