Advanced-level SEN support in Spain

23 international schools in Spain offer advanced-level support for children with special educational needs (SEN) - specialist staff and structured programmes, not just extra help in class. doris rates two kinds of support — learning support and behaviour support — from Basic to Specialist.

What the levels mean

doris rates learning support and behaviour support separately, each on this five-point scale. A school is grouped by whichever of the two is higher, so it appears on one level page only.

FAQs

SEN at international schools — your questions

How many international schools in Spain offer advanced-level SEN support?+

23 international schools in Spain are rated 'Advanced' on doris - specialist staff and structured programmes, not just extra help in class. A school is grouped by the higher of its two ratings, learning support and behaviour support, so it appears on one level page only.

What does 'Advanced' mean?+

doris rates SEN provision on a five-point scale: None, Basic, Moderate, Advanced and Specialist. 'Advanced' means specialist staff and structured programmes, not just extra help in class. Schools rated Specialist go further still.

Why are learning support and behaviour support rated separately?+

Because a school can be strong on one and light on the other. Learning support covers day-to-day academic help - dyslexia, dyscalculia, a learning-support unit. Behaviour support covers social, emotional and behavioural needs, including pastoral and specialist staff. Both levels are shown on every school on this page.

Does a advanced rating mean the school is right for my child?+

Not on its own. The right school depends on your child's specific needs, the fit with staff, class sizes and the exact provision on offer. Use this page to build a shortlist, then talk to each school's SEN coordinator (SENCO). doris is impartial and takes no placement fees.
