Questions parents ask
How many mainstream schools are there in Westmorland and Furness?
Westmorland and Furness has 130 state mainstream schools (115 primary, 14 secondary and 1 all-through or middle). In January 2026, at its primary schools, 14.3% of pupils got SEN support and 5.1% had an EHC plan (England: 15.4% and 4.1%); at its secondary schools, 16.2% of pupils got SEN support and 5.1% had an EHC plan (England: 14.1% and 3.5%).
Which mainstream schools in Westmorland and Furness have an SEN unit or resourced provision?
Appleby Primary School, Beaconside CofE Primary School, Dowdales School, Greengate Junior School, North Lakes School, Settlebeck School, Stramongate Primary School, The Lakes School, The Queen Katherine School, Ullswater Community College and Vickerstown School. They are listed with the area’s special schools.
How do I get SEN support at a mainstream school?
Talk to the class teacher and the school’s SENCO (special educational needs co-ordinator). Your child doesn’t need a diagnosis. If they need more help than the school can usually give, you or the school can ask Westmorland and Furness council for an EHC needs assessment.
What do the figures mean?
SEN support is help in school without an EHC plan; an EHC plan is a legal plan from the council for children who need more. The figures show how many children a school supports, not how well, so talk to the SENCO and read the school’s SEN information report.
