Children with special educational needs have learning difficulties that make it harder for them to learn
than other children of their age. Without exception, al children have their learning assessed by their school or early years setting.

Your child may have special educational needs (SEN) if:

1. They struggle with schoolwork and find it hard to keep up in class
2. They have difficulty reading, writing or understanding information
3. They have difficulty expressing themselves or understanding what others are saying
4. They have sensory or physical needs that may affect them at school.

It is not unusual for children to have a special educational need (SEN) of some kind during their school lives.
For most children this will be short-term and can be met within the school or with advice and support from outside professionals.
Schools and other organisations can help most children overcome the barriers if their difficulties are discovered early.

However, some children may need extra help for some or all of their time in school and in some cases these children will
need a statement of special educational needs. It is very important for parents and carers to work closely with staff in schools
and the local authority to get the best for children with Sspecial educational need (SEN).
