<p>The government’s ambition for children with special educational needs and disabilities
(SEND) is the same for every other child: to make the most of early education, thrive
in school and to live happy fulfilled lives.</p><p> </p><p>The London School of Economics
report focusses on data related to the behaviour of schools and a cohort of children
born into the 2006/07 academic year. This report does not consider parental choice
in that some children may have gone onto a special school rather than the primary
school they attended as their preschool choice.</p><p> </p><p>Where a child’s education
health care (EHC) plan names a school, the child must be admitted to that school.
Where a child does not have an EHC plan, places will be allocated in accordance with
the school's published admission arrangements.</p><p> </p><p>Furthermore, all mainstream
state-funded schools must comply with the school admissions code and wider admissions
law, as well as with equalities law. The code is clear that admission authorities
must ensure their arrangements will not disadvantage unfairly, directly or indirectly
a child with SEND.</p><p> </p><p> </p>
