Petition Action

Stop SEND children's SAT's results impacting school funding.

Petition Details

With more and more SEND children attending mainstream school stop punishing the schools who provide a welcoming SEND environment by cutting their funding when SATS results fall.

Additional Information

Mainstream schools who attract SEND children because of their inclusive/supportive environment are then finding their funding is being cut because their SAT results are falling. This is resulting in some schools providing hostile non inclusive environments for SEND children in a hope to force them out and protect their funding. Whilst SEND children do receive additional funding it is no where near what is needed. Truly Inclusive schools should be rewarded not punished.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

SAT results do not affect funding for schools. Most funding for schools is decided by the schools' national funding formula (NFF). Schools also receive additional funding for pupils with special educational needs (SEN). Neither type of funding is affected by SAT results.
