The range and quality of specialist provision for pupils with additional learning needs (ALN)

The local authority’s specialist provision is wide-ranging and of high quality. Provision within its special schools and pupil referral unit (PRU) is particularly effective in meeting the needs of children and young people with complex needs. Learning resource centres in mainstream schools further enhance this offer by allowing pupils to access specialist support as part of their local school communities. As a result, pupils with the most complex additional learning needs make strong progress from their starting points.
