How Are Schools Supporting Children with Additional Needs?

14 Mar 2026

How schools support children with additional needs can make a profound difference to both academic progress and wellbeing. With growing awareness and improved practice, schools are evolving the way they identify, support and nurture every learner.

This session explores how schools are supporting children with additional learning, social, emotional and behavioural needs, with a particular focus on the expertise and care found in UK specialist and inclusive schools. We’ll discuss early identification, personalised learning strategies, pastoral care, collaboration with families and access to specialist support.
