Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many staff were employed to support pupils with special educational needs and disabilities in the London Borough of Enfield in each year since 2010 for which records are available.

The department is committed to ensuring that all pupils, including those with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND), can reach their potential and receive excellent support from their teachers.

Alongside excellent teachers, teaching assistants play an important role supporting pupils with SEND to fulfil their potential in mainstream and special schools.
