SEND Funding (HNPCA)
How to use your SEND Funding effectively
The DfE is providing capital funding to support adaptations, expand specialist units within mainstream schools, and create new places in special schools. Funding will be allocated to local authorities, who are responsible for distributing it to schools based on identified local needs. To ensure your funding is effectively managed and directed towards priority areas, we provide end-to-end support throughout every stage of your project.
- We deliver a precise Feasibility Study that determines the most suitable approach to utilising your allocated funds
- We handle all related Design Work, Planning Applications, and Cost Planning, ensuring every detail is considered and thoroughly addressed.
- Taking responsibility for Contract Management and Project Management, we enable seamless delivery of your project.
Why do you need SEND funding?
Funding is available to help schools enhance, modify, and expand their facilities to better accommodate students with physical or sensory needs. This enables more children with SEND to access mainstream education in a safe and comfortable environment, with spaces specifically designed to meet their individual requirements. In addition, the funding supports greater inclusion by making mainstream schools more accessible, supportive, and welcoming to all learners.
