Funding increases for pupils with special educational needs insufficient – IFS

Funding increases for pupils with special educational needs insufficient – IFS

10 December 2024  

The Government recently earmarked GBP740 million of funding to create more specialist places in mainstream schools in England for children with Send.

Increased funding for children with special educational needs and disabilities (Send) in England has not been sufficient to cover rising levels of need, a group of economic experts has said.

The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) said local authorities' high-needs deficits could reach more than GBP8 billion by 2027, and there could be "widespread bankruptcies" without reform to the Send funding system.

Understanding why the number of pupils with education, health and care plans (EHCPs) has risen significantly in recent years is crucial to understanding how to respond to the "high-needs funding crisis", the IFS said.

The number of pupils with EHCPs - which set out the provision of Send support a young person needs - has risen by 71% between 2018 and 2024.

Nearly 5% of pupils now have EHCPs, according to the think tank.

In a briefing note published on Tuesday, the IFS said annual spending on high needs is forecast to rise by at least GBP2-3 billion between now and 2027.

It said governments have increased high-needs funding in recent years, but the rises "have not always been sufficient" to close in-year deficits.

The Government has earmarked GBP740 million of funding to create more specialist places in mainstream schools in England for children with Send.
