• Pupils attending maintained primary schools, state-funded secondary schools and special schools by their first language (Tables 9A, B and C)

Key Points Incidence And Placement Of Pupils With SEN Pupils with SEN in schools (Tables 1A and 1B)

• In January 2010 some 220,890 (or 2.7 per cent) pupils across all schools in England had statements of SEN, the same percentage as last year.

• The percentage of pupils with statements of SEN placed in mainstream schools (nursery, primary, secondary, academies, city technology colleges) was 54.9 per cent (compared to 55.6 per cent in 2009). The corresponding figures for the proportion of pupils with statements of SEN placed in maintained special schools was 38.1 per cent, with 4.3 per cent in independent schools, 2.0 per cent in non-maintained special schools and 0.8 per cent in pupil referral units.

• In 2010 there were some 1,470,900 pupils with SEN without statements representing 18.2 per cent of pupils across all schools. This is an increase of 0.4 percentage points from 2009.

• The incidence of pupils with SEN both with and without statements is greater in state-funded secondary schools (2.0 and 19.7 per cent respectively) than in maintained primary schools (1.4 and 18.5 per cent respectively).

Newly made statements of SEN (Tables 2 and 3A)

• Of the 27,550 children assessed for SEN during the 2009 calendar year, 26,490 (96.2 per cent) were issued with a statement for the first time. Of those children issued with a new statement, 6.5 per cent were placed in resourced provision or SEN units in maintained mainstream schools, a further 62.1 per cent were placed maintained mainstream schools, 23.6 per cent in special schools (maintained, non-maintained and independent), 2.7 per cent in registered early years education settings and 5.2 per cent elsewhere, a similar profile to the 2008 calendar year.

All children with statements of SEN (Tables 3B, 4A and 4B)

• Figures for all children with statements of SEN (not just those in schools) show that the number of statements maintained by an authority has decreased by nearly 700 from last year to 228,220 in 2010. 53.4 per cent of children with statements of SEN were placed in early years settings, mainstream schools, resourced provision in maintained mainstream schools or SEN units in maintained mainstream schools. This represents a decrease from last year.

• 76.2 per cent of maintained primary schools and 56.6 per cent of state-funded secondary schools had less than 2 per cent of pupils with statements of SEN. Less than one per cent of both primary and secondary schools had over 10 per cent of pupils with statements. However, there is some variation at regional level.

Characteristics Of Pupils With SEN

This section presents analysis of the characteristics of pupils with SEN, this includes gender, free school meal eligibility, ethnic group, first language, age and those identified as gifted and talented. These were not included within the Schools, Pupils and their Characteristics publication (http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/rsgateway/Db/Sfr/s000925/index.shtml).

The information shown here is an update from the previous edition of this Sfr published in June 2009, with new information on first language and pupils identified as gifted and talented. (http://www.dcsf.gov.uk/rsgateway/Db/Sfr/s000852/index.shtml).

Gender (Tables 5A, 5B and 5C)

• In maintained primary schools, the incidence of pupils with SEN without statements is greater for boys (23.4 per cent of boys have SEN without a statement) than it is for girls (13.5 per cent).

• Similarly the incidence of pupils with statements of SEN in maintained primary schools is much higher for boys than it is for girls. In January 2010, 41,620 boys in primary schools had statements of SEN (2.0 per cent) compared with 15,660 girls (0.8 per cent).

• State-funded secondary schools show a similar picture regarding gender: the incidence of pupils with SEN without statements is greater for boys (23.6 per cent of boys have SEN without a statement) than it is for girls (15.7 per cent). The incidence of boys with statements is nearly 3 times that for girls. In January 2010, 47,090 boys in state-funded secondary schools had statements of SEN (2.9 per cent) compared with 16,540 girls (1.0 per cent).

Age (Tables 5A, 5B and 5C)

• The rate of pupils with SEN without statements in mainstream primary schools increases with age, reaching a plateau at ages 8 and 9. In state-funded secondary schools, for pupils of secondary- school age, this rate decreases from age 11 onwards.

• The rate of pupils with statements of SEN in mainstream primary schools also increases with age, but at a slower rate. For secondary school age pupils in state-funded secondary schools, the rate of pupils with statements is fairly constant.

• In special schools, the rate of pupils with SEN without statements is highest in pupils aged under 5. For pupils with statements of SEN, the rate is lowest for pupils under 5 and remains almost constant from ages 6 to 18.

School meal arrangements (Table 7)

• The proportion of pupils known to be eligible for free school meals is much higher for pupils with SEN than for those pupils with no SEN. In January 2010, 30.2 per cent of pupils with SEN (with and without statements) were known to be eligible for free school meals in mainstream primary schools compared with 14.2 per cent of pupils with no SEN. In state-funded secondary schools the comparable figures were 25.8 per cent for pupils with SEN and 11.0 per cent for pupils with no SEN. In special schools 33.5 per cent of pupils with SEN are eligible for free school meals.

Ethnicity (Tables 8A, 8B and 8C)

• In January 2010 around 16 in every 1,000 pupils of White ethnic origin had statements of SEN in mainstream primary schools. The figure is similar for mixed pupils but for Black pupils the figure is around 20 in every 1,000.

• In state-funded secondary schools 20 in every 1,000 pupils of White ethnic origin had statements of SEN. This figure is similar to those for both Black and Mixed pupils.

• In both maintained primary and state-funded secondary schools, the lowest occurrence of SEN (with and without statements) was generally found in pupils of Chinese ethnic origin and Asian ethnic origin. Again, caution is needed in interpreting data for Chinese children due to the small numbers involved.

First Language (Tables 9A, 9B and 9C)

• The proportion of pupils with statements of SEN is slightly lower for pupils whose first language is known or believed to be other than English, in both maintained primary (1.4 per cent, compared to 1.7 per cent for those whose first language is known or believed to be English) and state-funded secondary schools (1.4 per cent, compared to 2.0 per cent for those whose first language is known or believed to be English).

• However, the proportion of pupil with SEN without statements is slightly higher for pupils who first language is known or believed to be other than English, in both maintained primary (22.1 per cent, compared to 21.3 per cent for those whose first language is known or believed to be English) and state-funded secondary schools (22.9 per cent, compared to 19.2 per cent for those whose first language is known or believed to be English).

Gifted and Talented (Table 10)

• In maintained primary schools, the percentage of pupils with SEN (with and without statements) who have been identified as gifted and talented was 4.0 per cent. In state-funded secondary schools, this figure was slightly higher at 5.0 per cent.

Type of need (Table 11)

• Distribution across the types of SEN is similar to last year. The most prevalent type of primary need amongst pupils with statements of SEN in primary schools was speech, language and communication needs (24.3 per cent); in state-funded secondary schools it was moderate learning difficulty (20.1 per cent) and in special schools, severe learning difficulty (23.7 per cent).

• In January 2010 the within-school Ptr in non-maintained special schools was 5.1, up from 4.9 in January 2006, and the within-school Par was 1.0, compared to 1.2 in January 2006.
