- Request
-
1. I am writing with respect to our concerns regarding the pressure being brought to bear on staff and students at John Spendluffe Technology College, Alford as a result of the process for allocating resources and appropriate educational settings for SEND students and Looked After Children. I would indicate that as a school we are disproportionately impacted by the number of SEND students and LAC.
I would therefore like to make such a request so that we are able to assess our level of pressure against that experienced by other schools in the area, with a clear understanding of how our figures compare.
- Decision
-
1. This is based on the number of pupils in year groups Reception to Year 11 attending a Lincolnshire School. The figures do not include any other potential LAC pupils from other LA's that could be in attendance at these schools.
