SEND local offer - Independent and Non-Maintained Special Schools
Some children and young people with complex special educational needs might be considered for a place in an independent or non-maintained special school.
We would always try and ensure that a child's needs could be met in a maintained school, academy or free school before considering a place in a school in the independent or non-maintained sector.
Local Authorities are required to provide a list of independent schools and colleges in England and Wales, which are approved by the Secretary of State for Education. This list is updated on a monthly basis.
The list will be sent with the Education, Health and Care Plan but can be viewed by on the Independent special schools and colleges page of the Gov.uk website.
Details of all maintained schools, academies and the free school in Stockton can be found in the Education section of the Stockton Information Directory.
