jools Report post Posted October 1, 2005 if a child is on the SEN register at SA+ does the school get funding for this and if so where does it come from? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lil_me Report post Posted October 1, 2005 (edited) If a child is on school action plus any extra support must come from the school's budget in our LEA, I think most LEAs are the same on this one. Edited October 1, 2005 by lil_me Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kazzen161 Report post Posted October 1, 2005 In our County, the school gets extra money for most children on SA+, but it is only about �1000, and it does not have to be spent on the specific child - just goes into the school's SEN funding.

puffin Report post Posted October 2, 2005 I believe that LEAs get funding for SA+ in part of their general budget. But the funding is not ringfenced - schools are free to use it as they wish and it is not linked to a particular child. If the LEA suggest that they will be able to meet a child's needs using SA+ it is worth asking EXACTLY what help will be provided as it is very variable and sometimes very small. I have heard of someone on SA+ who got extra help for 20 minutes per week. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
