The DfE have provided Special Provision Capital Fund of
£848,837 over three years (201821) to enable RCC to meet
Programme Objectives:
• Use the DfE Capital funding to provide in-county educational
places for students with Special Educational Needs or Disabilities
(SEND) and who have an Education, Health and Care plan (EHCP).

county or independent provision, so that children with SEND have
excellent access to local education. Children who are able to
attend, are better able to build positive peer and community links
and are more prepared for adulthood and independence. • Give
effective transitions for children from Primary to Secondary school
and to post 16 provision and onto adulthood. • Manage the flow
of young people into secondary education and ensure that the have
opportunities to experience a supportive mainstream curriculum.
• Have a positive impact on the financial cost and physical
impact of transporting children with SEND which comes from the RCC
General Fund.
Grow quality of practice and support to families, and respond to
what children and families tell us is important about local schools
and services. • Resources to be deployed to meet wider SEND
system changing strategic objectives. Assist in encouraging
aspirational inclusion leadership in schools, ensuring that staff
have skills and confidence to support children in mainstream
education where this is possible. • Lead to a longer term
positive financial impact on the High Needs Block- Designated
Schools Grant.
