Government Publication: White paper for schools
Tuesday 29 March 2022
The 91大神 welcomes the publication of the Government white paper for schools 鈥淥pportunity for all: Strong schools with great teachers for your child鈥�
The paper contains some stark figures which show the attainment gap between those children with special educational needs (SEN) and their peers.
- Pupils with SEN are less likely to meet the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at the end of Key Stage 2. With only 22% of SEN children achieving this compared to 74% of those with no recorded SEN.
- This continues at GCSE with only 27% of SEN children achieving a grade 4 or above in English and Maths, compared to 71% of those with no recorded SEN.
BDA CEO Gillian Ashley said
鈥淲e look forward to the publication of the SEND review later today to understand how the Government plans to address these attainment gaps and ensure that those with dyslexia or other special educational needs are supported to achieve their potential鈥�
