Definition of Terms
There are a range of different acronyms used within the Inclusive Learning team. You will find the definitions below:
EHCP - Education Health Care Plan- This means that students have a statement of Special Educational Needs or a new Education Health Care Plan. This is a legal document that states the diagnosed needs of the student and the support the school must put in place to meet their needs.
HNF - High Needs Funding-supports provision for pupils and students with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) from their early years to 25.
K - SEND Support- These students have been recognised because their needs require specific differentiation and/or external services will be involved.
TUF - Top up Funding-If a school requires funding that goes beyond the maximum £6,000 to provide a pupil’s special educational provision, then depending on the assessed needs of the pupil concerned, the LA will provide the required funding from the LA’s high needs block.
