The SEND Ranges

All schools, academies and special schools use The SEND Ranges as a common framework to identify additional needs and understand how to support pupils. The SEND Ranges:

  • will provide a core framework for all professionals working with the pupil and will give greater clarity for parents, families and carers in terms of what their child's needs are, and what their child's needs are, and what each child is receiving
  • are based on the best practice covered by the Children and Families Act 2014
