I would like to know how many children with an EHCP have been placed in a non-specialist, independent (private) school, the fees for which are funded by the LA under their plan. Please can you supply this information for each of the last 5 years, and separately for 2019/20.
| Year | Total Number of children placed * |
| 2014 – 2015 | 26 |
| 2015 – 2016 | 38 |
| 2016 – 2017 | 49 |
| 2017 – 2018 | 51 |
| 2018 – 2019 | 48 |
| 2019 – 2020 to date | 70 |
*the total will include new and continuing placements and some that end during the year
