Independent and Non Maintained Schools

Page Updated: 13th December 2021

Below is a list of special schools and mainstream private schools. There is a fee for admittance to these schools – if your child has an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP) then requests for these schools will require consideration by the SEN assessment team (SENAT)

The links on the schools will take you through to their website. Independent and non-maintained schools do not have a statutory requirement to be on the Local Offer, any of these schools that would like to be searchable on the Local Offer can do so by creating a service card.
