Description
Access a professionally researched database of 1,294 SEND and specialist education provisions across England, including school and institution details, named senior decision-makers, email addresses, telephone numbers, websites, DfE references, URNs, Local Authority information, age ranges, capacity data and pupil information.

The database contains 1,294 specialist schools and education provisions across England.
Key coverage includes:
- 1,294 specialist education records
- 1,294 named decision-makers
- 1,293 records with email information
- 1,284 records with telephone information
- 1,269 records with website information

This makes the database suitable for both nationwide and Local Authority-level targeting within England’s SEND and specialist education sector.
SEND and Specialist Provision Coverage
The database covers specialist education organisations serving a range of age groups.
Pre-16 Specialist Provision
455 records relate primarily to specialist education provision for pupils below age 16.
Post-16 Specialist Provision
109 records relate primarily to specialist post-16 education.
Mixed Pre & Post-16 Provision
730 records cover specialist education organisations serving both younger pupils and post-16 learners.
This allows buyers to segment the database according to the age groups most relevant to their products, services or research.
Senior Education Decision-Makers
Each record includes a researched senior decision-maker.
Roles represented within the database can include:
- Headteacher
- Head Teacher
- Executive Headteacher
- Principal
- Executive Principal
- Head of School
- Acting Headteacher
- Interim Headteacher
- Head of Education
- Head of Centre
- Chief Executive
- Director of Education
- Head of Academy
Headteachers and principals form a significant proportion of the decision-maker records, making the database useful for organisations seeking to reach senior leaders within specialist education.
Contact Information Included
Depending on the information publicly available for each establishment, records can include:
- Decision-maker name
- Decision-maker role
- Email address
- Telephone number
- School or institution website
- Contact page
Where a reliable direct decision-maker email address is publicly available, it is included.
Where an individual headteacher or principal email address is not publicly published, an appropriate school, office, administration or general enquiry email address may be supplied instead.
This avoids guessing or fabricating personal email addresses and provides buyers with transparent information about the type of contact data included.
Complete Database Fields
The downloadable Excel database contains 18 structured fields:

Important Information About Email Addresses
Not every specialist school publishes an individual direct email address for its headteacher or principal.
Where a reliable direct decision-maker email could be identified publicly, it has been included.
Where an individual email was not publicly available, an appropriate school, office, administration or enquiry email address may be supplied.
The database does not intentionally generate or guess email addresses simply to create the appearance of a direct-contact list.
This distinction is important for transparency and helps buyers understand exactly what they are purchasing.
Delivery Format
The database is supplied as a Microsoft Excel .xlsx file.
It can be opened using:
- Microsoft Excel
- LibreOffice Calc
- compatible spreadsheet software
The structured format can also be imported into many CRM, research and business intelligence systems.

Purchase provides the buyer with a licence to use the supplied database for their own permitted internal business, sales, marketing or research purposes.
Unless specifically permitted under a separate licence, the database must not be:
- resold as a standalone database
- republished for public download
- redistributed as a competing data product
- copied and sold under another brand
- shared with unauthorised third parties

Database Accuracy

- headteachers
- principals
- senior staff
- email addresses
- telephone numbers
- websites
- capacity figures
- pupil numbers
- organisational structures
No contact database can therefore be guaranteed to remain 100% accurate indefinitely.

Users should independently verify information before relying on it for critical business or operational decisions.
