Which schools in Devon support severe learning difficulties?
Bidwell Brook School, Ellen Tinkham School, Mill Water School, Pathfield School, Oakwood Specialist College, Royal Deaf Education Trust and Northlew and Ashbury Parochial Church of England Primary School.
How do I get a place at a special school in Devon?
Places at special schools usually come through an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. If your child has one, ask Devon 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 Devon?
Devon SENDIASS gives free, independent advice on EHC plans, meetings and appeals. The council’s Local Offer explains what support is available locally.
