Pupils with statements of Special Educational Needs (SEN).
These statements describe any learning difficulties which pupils have,
and specify the extra help or equipment they need. Around 3 per cent of
school pupils nationally have statements. Some pupils with special educational
needs are academically able. But schools face challenges in achieving Level 4
at Key Stage 2 for many pupils with SEN. The information on the numbers of
pupils with SEN in each school helps you take this into account when looking at
the school's results.
