Devon’s SEND Local Offer
Schools
School is a big part of a child and young person’s life, and there’s a lot for all families to think about in choosing the best school for their child. Our schools pages contain information about the types of schools that are available in Devon, things to consider when choosing a school, and advice to support children and young people starting or changing schools.
Children and young people with SEND may need extra help in school to achieve their full potential – we’ve put together some guidance about what this may look like, and how to talk to your child’s school if you have any concerns.
