About specialist resource provisions
A specialist resource provision (SRP) provides support for those, who without specialist input, are unlikely to make progress in their learning and will struggle to take part in mainstream school life. In time, it is expected they will be able to attend most of their mainstream lessons and take part with others.
To be considered for a specialist resource provision (SRP) support, your child or young person must have an education health and care (EHC) plan. During the EHC needs assessment, evidence must be provided that without a high level of ongoing, flexible specialist support, they will find it difficult or not be able to participate in activities or learning in a mainstream school.
Our specialist resource provisions
We have over 70 local authority and academy primary and secondary mainstream schools with additional specialist resource provision (SRP).
Every school with an SRP is led by a specialist SEN lead teacher. This means they have or are studying to a postgraduate degree level qualification in the specialism of the SRP. The support staff working as part of the SRP will also have enhanced and specialist levels of training.
