Special Educational Needs
(asked on 30th June 2014) - View Source
Question to the Department for Education:
To ask Her Majesty's Government why independent special schools were removed from the official published league tables, and whether they will consider restoring them.
This question was answered on 8th July 2014
Independent schools, including independent special schools, are not required to follow the national curriculum, conduct teacher assessment or enter pupils for key stage 2 national curriculum tests. They have never therefore been published in the primary school performance tables. However, they have always been included in the secondary school performance tables.
