Most children and young people with SEND can be supported to achieve their potential in mainstream schools in Devon. We expect all our schools to be inclusive and supportive places where all children and young people can learn, build relationships, fulfil their potential and be part of the community.

There are more than 360 schools in Devon. Choosing a school can be a really big decision, especially if a child or young person has SEND. We’ve put together some guidance about visiting a school that you may find useful.

All schools in Devon have access to support, enabling them to help children and young people with SEND to dream, believe and achieve and fulfil their potential, and we, therefore, expect most children and young people with SEND to go to one of their local schools.
