Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what data her department holds on the number of pupils with an EHCP in Glastonbury and Somerton, who had a special school as their first preference and were subsequently allocated a place in a mainstream setting.

Placements at special schools are usually made through education, health and care (EHC) plans. The department does not hold figures on whether a mainstream setting named on an EHC plan was the setting preferred by the parents of the child.
