High Needs Funding (HNF) helps mainstream schools provide appropriate support packages for children and young people (aged 0-25 years) with special educational needs or disabilities (SEND).

HNF is extra money that mainstream schools can apply for to help them support a specific child or young person with SEND. Schools can apply for HNF if it will cost more than £6000 to meet a specific child’s needs.
