Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, how many free schools with a special educational needs focus were graded as (a) outstanding, (b) good, (c) requires improvement and (d) requires special measures in each year since 2010.

The Ofsted grades of all special free schools are set out in the below table. Please note that the first special free schools opened in September 2012 and therefore there were no Ofsted inspections of these schools until 2014.

A list of all open special free schools can be found on GOV.UK at: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/free-schools-open-schools-and-successful-applications
