Does your independant school charge for SEN services?

[readerholic]

I was just wondering if they all charge if a child needs to see someone for 1:1 or small group help. And if so - how much is normal?

No charge from ours.

They normally say their charging policy on their website.

All the websites I've looked at have said they do charge for 1:1.

Yes, I pay £15 per half-hour for DS who is dyslexic.

He does get quite a lot of 1:1 time with his teacher anyway, as he is in a small class (approx 18 children)

Btw OP, DS' 1:1 sessions (the extra ones that I pay for) are with a specialist dyslexia tutor who comes into the school once a week, and I pay her directly. I'm not paying one of the school teachers iyswim...

Canbury School

SEN Lessons: (if required) £15.00 and £12.50 per 20 minute individual or group lesson.

Godstowe

Learning Support Literacy support £34 per 45 minute lesson

I know one that does charge for one on one SEN support as they have to bring in specialist teachers and another that provides free 'booster classes' before school for children with mild dyslexia and dyscalculia but they are done in a small group not one on one.

DS1's struggles with literacy and his school has a Learning Support department. He has a 45min 1:1 session once a week which costs us £25.00 a session.

No charge at DS's school. He has 1-2-1 or small group sessions a couple of times a week with one of the learning support teachers.

Mine has no charge for small group sessions but full time 1:1 is approx £25,000 per year plus school fees. There is also additional cost of around £80 per hour for any specialists brought in, speech therapists etc

no charge at one of my dc's schools - but dc has a statement so is already getting funding

£14 per period (half hour) out of class 1:1 with a qualified specialist teacher or £7 per period (half hour) for in - class 1:1 LSA support

Ours charged extra for SEN provision. Can't remember how much (it was a long time ago)

No charge for 1:1 or small group with TAs or class teacher where I work.

But there is a charge for 1:1 lessons in the learning support department, I don't know how much.

No idea of charges but yes my childrens prep charge for 1:1 and special help

Our indie recharges whatever the cost to them is. £25 per hr for 1:1 for dyslexia/dyspraxia, free for group sessions.

A friend's child needed a TA during classes and it cost £2,000 per term - the school pushed her to get a statement because then they can charge LEA instead of parent (though apparently you sometimes you have to take LEA to court to get the payment enforced, because their default position is to refuse to pay for indie-educated SEN costs)

dc prep didn't for small group work but did for 1:1 sessions , about £15 per half hour iirc.

We only charge for 1:1 lessons when they are delivered by someone from outside, eg Dyslexia Action.

no charge for ds 3 at his school - he gets specialist 1:2 for his dyslexia, and it could be 1:1 but he likes it better 1:2.
Ds2's school would charge extra for this provision.
