Ordinarily available provision

The SEND Code of Practice describes a graduated response and the Assess, Plan, Do and Review cycle through which children and young people, placed at Special Educational Needs (SEN) support have their needs met.

Expectations

Paragraphs 6:96 to 6:99 of the SEND Code, explain that schools (including academies) are expected to:

i. make provision available for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) from their delegated budgets
ii. provide high quality teaching
iii. plan the use of their SEN resources to support the progress of children with SEND, in the context of their other resources, such as pupil premium
iv. to be clear about the provision they make for SEN from within their Core budget (Elements 1 and 2) and up to a nationally prescribed threshold
