SEN Local Offer

Sandwell Local Offer

Our vision for children and young people in Sandwell with special educational needs and disabilities is that they will be able to achieve their aspiration for a healthy ordinary life through meaningful employment and fulfilling relationships within the community of their choosing.

To help with achieving this vision the Local Authority has produced, as required by law, a ‘Local Offer’ which sets out the support they expect to be available for children and young people in Sandwell with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).

Please find Sandwell’s Local Offer online by clicking on the link below.

We are very proud to announce that we’ve been awarded the Sandwell Well-being Charter Mark renewal (December 2019).

If you have any queries or concerns regarding your child’s SEN needs or provision, please do not hesitate to contact the school’s SEN team.  We can arrange to meet with you and share any concerns you may have, and if needed, support you in accessing external support.  Click on the link below for Sandwell’s advice and information regarding SEND.
