Mainstream Schools

What is a mainstream school?

A mainstream school provides education for children who have a wide range of abilities. This includes children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). 

The law clearly states that if a parent or carer wants their child with SEND to go to a mainstream school or college, the local authority can only refuse if:

  • The school or other institution requested is unsuitable for the age, ability, aptitude or special educational needs of the child or young person concerned, or
  • The attendance of the child or young person at the requested school would be incompatible with the provision of efficient education for others, or the efficient use of resources.
It is important to note that this does not provide a right to a specific mainstream school - it is a general right to a mainstream education.

You can read more about the right to a mainstream education on the IPSEA website or in the SEND Code of Practice.
