School & Local Offer
About the Local Offer
The Local Offer is a guide to services for children and young people with special educational needs and/or disabilities, from birth to 25 years old.
The London Borough of Waltham Forest develops the Local Offer with you (parents, carers, children, young people with SEN and disabilities and partners) to meet the needs of the community. it brings all the information on SEN and disability services into one place so it can be found quickly and easily.
Longshaw Primary Academy supports the Local Offer and as a school in the community of north Chingford, it is part of the Local Offer too.
There is a lot of help, support and advice that is free to access by young people and their families. it is not just for people who find themselves in need, but is for everyone - to help promote the best development and outcomes for all children/young people.
