SEN unit or resourced provision forSEN units and resourced provisionSome mainstream schools have places set aside for children with a particular need, such as autism or hearing impairment. In an SEN unit pupils are taught mostly in their own small classes; in resourced provision they are taught mostly in ordinary classes, with a specialist base and staff to support them.

Places are usually for children with an EHC Plan and are arranged through the council, not the normal school application. Most schools don't have either - that isn't a mark against them.

Offers a GCSE subjectGCSE subjectsThe GCSE subjects the school's pupils were actually entered for in the most recent year of official DfE exam data - not the school's own curriculum description. A subject that's missing may still be taught (for example, if no pupils took it that year), so if one subject really matters, check with the school for the year your child would start.
