If you are looking for information relating to education for children aged up to16 years, Wakefield Council provides information about catchment areas, schools, special educational needs, and childcare - the detail is available here.
The Children’s and Families Act (2014) requires local authorities to publish – in one place – the provision they offer to children and young people who have special educational needs. The Wakefield Council Local Offer can be found here - on the Connect to Support website.
Wakefield Connexions provides information and support to people aged 13-19 (and up to 25 for people with a disability). Connexions provides a confidential support service and are able to advise on education, employment, money, health and relationships. Personal advisors are based in schools and at access points in Wakefield, Pontefract, Hemsworth, Castleford and South Elmsall. Further information and contact details are available on their website.
