Understanding This Data
EHCP (Education, Health and Care Plan) is a legally binding document that outlines a child's special educational needs and the support they must receive. SEN Support describes pupils receiving in-school SEND support without a statutory plan. EAL = English as an Additional Language. Source: DfE SEN Census.
