Question to the Department for Education:

To ask the Secretary of State for Education, if she will publish the number of pupils in England receiving SEN support for literacy and dyslexia.

The department continuously seeks to update and build its evidence base on the prevalence of different types of special educational needs (SEN). The department publishes annual statistics on the primary and secondary types of need for pupils receiving SEN support in the ‘Special educational needs in England’ publication.

The department is consulting on the approach to areas of development and will set out future plans in due course.
