Numbers with statements
The number of children with a statement of SEN in Wales decreased during 2001 - by almost 300, bringing the total with a statement to 17,118 by January 2002.
The number of children newly assessed as requiring a statement also decreased during 2001
The proportion of new statements given to pupils under 5 continues to increase. In 2001, 21% of new statements were for pupils under 5, compared to 14% in 1996
Inclusion
93% of children with statements were educated within their "home" local authority.
37% of those educated outside their "home" authority attended maintained special schools.
The percentage of pupils educated in mainstream schools - whether in the "home authority" or outside - varied considerably across LEAs… from 90% in Ceredigion (which does not have a special school) to 21% in Bridgend.
