Questions parents ask

Which schools in Reading support severe learning difficulties?

The Avenue Special School, New Town Primary School, Oxford Road Community School and Wilson Primary School.

How do I get a place at a special school in Reading?

Places at special schools usually come through an Education, Health and Care (EHC) plan. If your child has one, ask Reading 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 Reading?

Reading SENDIASS gives free, independent advice on EHC plans, meetings and appeals. The council’s Local Offer explains what support is available locally.
