Case reference FOI2024/00916

Request
Under the Freedom of Information Act, I would like to request the following information regarding care and education for children with special educational needs (SEN).
Please kindly include responses on the attached Excel spreadsheet.
I am aware of data published by the Department for Education. However, the ‘Education, health and care plans' data set (https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/education-health-and-care-plans) does not provide any granular breakdown by primary type of SEN need. I am also aware of the 'Special education needs in England' data set (https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/statistics-special-educational-needs-sen), which includes the number of pupils with SEN by primary type of need but excludes independent special schools, meaning that it cannot be directly compared or combined with the ‘Education, health and care plans' data set.
