This statistical first release publishes data from the January 2015 school census on pupils with special educational needs and information about special schools in England. It also provides data on the characteristics of pupils by their SEN provision. The release shows that 15.4 per cent of pupils in schools in England have identified special educational needs (equating to 1,301,445 pupils). This has been decreasing since 2010 (21.1 per cent) and is a fall of 2.5 percentage points since last year. Nearly a quarter of pupils with a primary need were recorded as having ‘Moderate Learning Difficulty’ as their primary need – the most common primary need. (Edited publisher abstract)
