be sent a ‘Proposed Statement’. All the parts listed below will be
filled in, except the name of the school in Part 4 which will be
left blank.
Part 1 gives your own and your child’s name and
address, your child’s date of birth, home language and religion

special educational need (difficulties) as identified in the
statutory assessment
Part 3 describes:
- what the objectives of the arrangements (provision) are
- all the additional help that the LEA thinks your child should
receive to meet the needs listed in part 2
- the arrangements for setting short-term goals, regularly
reviewing your child’s progress toward those goals, and how your
child’s progress is to be monitored
Part 4 tells you about the school your child
will attend to get the additional help set out in part 3, or
arrangements for education other than a school.
Part 5 describes any non-educational needs your
child has, as agreed between the LEA and the health services,
