The Special Needs Department at County High is led by our Deputy Headteacher, Mr Benson.

A child has a Special Educational Need if they have a learning difficulty or disability which requires provision which is special or additional to that normally available for pupils of the same age. There are four broad areas of need:

• Communication and Interaction ‐ such as Autism Spectrum Disorder or a speech and language disorder
• Cognition and Learning ‐ this includes students with dyslexia or dyscalculia
• Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs
• Sensory and Physical Needs.
