What is a SEN unit or a resourced provision?
Special educational needs (SEN) units and resourced provisions are specialist provisions in mainstream schools formally recognised by the local authority.
In SEN units pupils are taught within separate classes for at least half of their time.
In resourced provisions, pupils are taught within mainstream classes for at least half of their time, but have access to a base and specialist facilities around the school.
They are both for pupils with SEN, who typically have education, health, and care (EHC) plans.

What is wraparound care and the free breakfast club programme?
Wraparound care
Wraparound childcare is before and after school care for primary school aged children in England during term time delivered on or near the school site.
Wraparound care is different from out-of-school activities, or school clubs, which are less frequent and can be a one-off activity.
Contact the school for more information about what they provide.
Free breakfast club programme
The free breakfast club programme is a government-funded initiative being introduced in all state-funded schools with primary-aged children in England. Schools will join the programme in stages from 2026.
These clubs are:
- open to all pupils on roll at the school in reception to year 6
- at least 30 minutes in duration, immediately before the start of each compulsory school day
- free to access
- offering a breakfast that adheres to the school food standards for England
- on, or in the vicinity of, the school site
Some schools offer breakfast clubs for their pupils outside of the DfE’s free breakfast club programme. You should ask the school whether it offers breakfasts before school.
