ISF Funding and EHC Plan Banded Levels
Inclusive School Forum (ISF) Funding
What is ISF Funding?
The Inclusive School Forum is a meeting of school professionals including head teachers and SENCos who have expertise in special educational needs. It has been developed for all schools in Telford and Wrekin so that they are able to get advice and guidance from each other about how to meet children’s needs effectively. In addition schools can ask the Inclusive School Forum for funding to support children’s complex SEND.
Which children and young people are eligible for ISF?
- Children and young people of primary and secondary age including those at academies.
- Where funding (AIF) is being requested for a child they must have a Telford and Wrekin address.
- The child or young person will have significant barriers to learning that require support above what is already allocated in a schools budget.
- Funding (AIF) is allocated to the individual pupil, if the pupil moves school the funding is transferred if appropriate.
- If you currently have, are applying for, or going through the EHC process then you are not able to apply for funding from the School Inclusion Forum at the same time.
