and disabilities than local authority community schools, according to research from the London School of Economics .
“While the research gives no strong evidence that arrangements by admissions authorities for CofE schools are a barrier to Send applications, the Church is taking active steps to promote equal educational opportunities through our National Professional Qualification programmes which train leaders in evidence-based Send practice, and supporting schools through trauma-informed practice and Send networks for leaders.
Church of England schools with centralised local authority admissions admitted, on average, 8 per cent fewer children with Send recorded in pre-school than local authority community schools Those with an Education, Health and Care Plan , the higher-level Send funded by local authorities, had a 21 per cent chance.
