SEND Services in Greenwich
In the diverse London borough of Greenwich, SEND support is tailored to meet the needs of children and families amidst urban challenges like higher deprivation levels in some areas and a rising trend in elective home education linked to unmet needs. As a bustling community with a young population, the borough offers a range of services through its Local Offer, including impartial guidance from Greenwich SENDIASS to help navigate assessments and plans. Parents can feel reassured knowing local efforts focus on improving outcomes despite pressures, with the Greenwich Parent Carer Participation Forum providing a strong voice for families.
In Greenwich's supportive yet pressured SEND landscape, where navigating assessments and EHCPs can feel overwhelming, JakTrack empowers families by turning everyday moments into a growing bank of organised evidence, helping you walk into meetings feeling prepared, supported, and truly in control. Starting early lets that evidence build naturally over time, spotting patterns in sleep, behaviour, and more to strengthen your voice alongside groups like the Parent Carer Participation Forum.

SecondaryGoodUnderstanding school SEND provision
Schools in England provide SEND support at different levels. Here's what each type means:
Specialist School
A school that exclusively educates children with SEND. Smaller classes (typically 6-12 pupils), staff trained in specific needs, and environments designed for children who need more support than mainstream can provide. Places are usually named in an EHCP.
SEN Unit
A dedicated unit within a mainstream school, staffed by specialists. Children are on the roll of the unit but may join mainstream classes for some lessons. Offers a middle ground - specialist support with mainstream social opportunities. Usually requires an EHCP.
Resource Base
Extra resourced provision attached to a mainstream school. Children are on the mainstream roll but can access additional support, equipment, and specialist staff. Some resource bases focus on specific needs like autism or speech and language.
SEN Support (Mainstream)
Every mainstream school has a legal duty to identify and support children with SEND. This includes having a SENCO (Special Educational Needs Coordinator), providing reasonable adjustments, and putting in place SEN Support plans. You don't need an EHCP for SEN Support.
