Questions parents ask
How many mainstream schools are there in Wirral?
Wirral has 82 state mainstream schools (70 primary, 11 secondary and 1 all-through or middle). In January 2026, at its primary schools, 18.9% of pupils got SEN support and 5.4% had an EHC plan (England: 15.4% and 4.1%); at its secondary schools, 15.8% of pupils got SEN support and 5% had an EHC plan (England: 14.1% and 3.5%).
Which mainstream schools in Wirral have an SEN unit or resourced provision?
Bidston Village CofE (Controlled) Primary School, Birkenhead Christ Church CofE Primary School, Brackenwood Junior School, Chapelhill Primary School, Co-op Academy Bebington, Co-op Academy Hillside, Co-op Academy Oldershaw, Co-op Academy Woodslee, Devonshire Park Primary School, Eastway Primary School, Egremont Primary School and Fender Primary School, and 16 more. 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 Wirral 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.
