CYP: Local data on School age special educational needs

According to the 2011 Census, 797 girls and 1,165 boys aged 5-19 years were recorded as having their day-to-day activities limited by a long-term health problem or disability in Hackney – 3.8% of girls and 5.5% of boys of those ages. In the City, 22 children and young people aged five to 19 had their day-to-day activities limited, with 3.6% of girls affected and 5.1% of boys affected. 1

Every term, pupils with special educational needs are reported to the Department for Education and are classified into one of four levels – specific difficulties (like dyslexia), moderate learning difficulties, severe learning difficulties, and profound and multiple learning difficulties. In 2014, the proportion of pupils known by state-maintained primary or secondary schools and special schools to have moderate learning difficulties was 3.1% in Hackney, and the proportion known to have severe learning difficulties was 0.2%. 2

As there is only one state-maintained primary school and no state-maintained secondary schools in the City of London, data are only presented for Hackney.
