When looking at the full academic year, persistent absence (defined as missing 10% or more sessions) decreased slightly compared to the previous year, with a more notable improvement seen in primary schools. However, severe absence (missing 50% or more sessions) edged up slightly in both primary and secondary schools. Both types of absences remain well above pre-pandemic levels, particularly in secondary schools.
The report highlights that since 2019, there has been no consistent improvement in outcomes for children and young people with SEN. The DfE’s objective to improve educational attainment and post-school outcomes has seen mixed results. In 2021/22, only 69% of those with SEN at key stage 4 were in sustained education, apprenticeship, or employment after leaving 16 to 18 study, compared to 85% for those without SEN.
The National Audit Office (NAO) is set to release a report next week on the cost and performance of England’s special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) system. The publication comes just before the upcoming budget and spending review.

“It takes a village to raise a child.”
After meeting with the inspirational Jade Neivens-Brown at Provision Plus+, we were minded of this timeless proverb. We left the meeting thinking how co-operating would help our complementary services provide the support (technical and professional) to ensure young people who are educated outside of the mainstream get what they need, and frankly deserve. Through their robust quality assurance process Provision Plus+, are fostering an environment where every student has the opportunity to flourish.
