Haringey holds smallest gap between SEN pupils & peers
Recent data from the Department of Education (DfE) and the London Government Association (LGA) reveals that the London Borough of Haringey boasts the smallest gap between SEN (Special educational needs) and non-SEN students among London boroughs, highlighting the improvements made to ensure all children in Haringey thrive.
In the borough, 98% of schools rated ‘good’ or ‘outstanding’, Children's Services hold a ‘good’ Ofsted rating, and the local SEN provision has achieved the highest Ofsted rating.
Offering exceptional alternative provisions for young people through various providers, including the Haringey Learning Partnership, means additional support for those with behavioural, emotional, or special educational needs.
By listening to those who use the service, and their families, as well as collaborating with early years settings, schools, and colleges, the council has strengthened its early intervention approach.
Cllr Zena Brabazon, Cabinet Member for Children, Schools, and Families, said: "We believe every young person in Haringey should have the opportunity to thrive. This begins with providing the best possible education.
"Teaching is about more than just reciting the syllabus; it's about creating a nurturing environment where children can grow and become the best versions of themselves. The passion, care, and commitment required to achieve this goes beyond any role.
"We are extremely proud of our progress in ensuring young people have access to quality education. With the right support and guidance, students with SEN can truly thrive, as demonstrated by these results.
Additionally, the council has been able to identify and meet children's needs earlier through a range of universal, targeted, and inclusive support, tailored through our SEND transformation programme.
Enhancing academic achievements, developing social skills, and boosting self-esteem are key to this initiative and will provide the next generation the best possible platform to start their educational journey.
