COUNCIL SAYS DEMAND IS RISING
NEW schools will be opened by Birmingham City Council as the number of children with special educational needs and requiring support rises 'year-on-year!
New figures revealed dozens of children faced waits of several weeks for a special school placement in the city.
And a council report showed the authority had missed a target for giving youngsters with an education, health and care plan (EHCP) a placement in the first quarter of 2025-26.
The authority said the numbers of new assessments and EHCPS continue to rise year-on-year.
"This inevitably impacts on those children and young people assessed as needing a special school placement," a report said.
But it was continuing to expand its special school provision where possible.
