We know it can be hard to find clear information about resource bases and specialist schools, and to understand what different settings offer.
To help families, we’ve created new resources that bring together information about local authority maintained resource bases and specialist schools in Bristol, all in one place.
The resources include a simple booklet (available as a PDF and online) which shares key information such as:
- the types of needs supported
- age ranges and school phases
- therapies that may be available
- qualifications and pathways offered
These resources are for parent carers exploring specialist provision, families with a child or young person who has (or may need) an EHCP, and families preparing for school or post-16 transitions.
Important to know
- This list includes local authority maintained schools only
- Specialist provision changes often, and information can become out of date
- Being listed does not mean a place is available or right for every child
We will be sharing information about independent and other specialist settings in the coming months.
Need help?
If you are unsure how to use these resources, or if you need help understanding what they mean for your child or young person, please contact us.
Because lists and information change quickly, getting in touch can help you check what is current and talk through next steps.
