Special Educational Needs: Welwyn Hatfield

Asked by Andrew LewinLabourDepartment for EducationTabled Answered 18 February 2025UIN 30172

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many and what proportion of children aged four to 18 who have an EHCP attend schools rated (a) Outstanding, (b) Good, (c) Requires Improvement and (d) Inadequate in Welwyn Hatfield constituency.

Answered by Catherine McKinnell

Data on children with education, health and care (EHC) plans broken down by a schools’ single headline grade is not held by the department. Ofsted has, as of September 2024, ceased providing headline grades as part of the move to a comprehensive school report card to provide greater information for parents and proportionate accountability for schools. Subject to the ongoing consultation report cards will include reporting on inclusion.

Information on the total number of pupils with an EHC plan by school, including the constituency of the school, is published in an additional supporting file as part of the statistical release. It is available here: https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/special-educational-needs-in-england.
