Special Educational Needs funding for schools in the UK is contracting every year. This is especially true for children with a high level of need. At Trinity, we have tried very hard to maintain a strong provision despite the increasingly challenging circumstances.

In partnership with Warwickshire County Council, we opened in 2016 an enhanced provision for learners, 'Peter's Place'. This section of the school was to support children who were autistic, and who had previously been school refusers due to high levels of anxiety. We are very proud of the success thus far with Peter's Place, and we want to continue this mission by further expanding the provision into the on-site bungalow at school.

Unfortunately, even with Local Authority support, there is not enough funding in educational budgets for this to happen. We are seeking £12000 to enable the school to continue to deliver its high quality SEND provision, and to provide the capital investment to expand it.
