Question to the Department for Education:
To ask His Majesty's Government what estimate they have made of the additional cost of special educational needs provision in England in each of the next three years.
This question was answered on 24th December 2025
To support specialist provision, in December, the department announced at least £3 billion for high needs capital between 2026/27 and 2029/30. This builds on the £740 million invested in 2025/26, which is on track to create around 10,000 new specialist places.
The department will publish its plans for reform to the special educational needs system in the new year.
