Abstract

Background
This report relates to research commissioned by the Local Government
Association as part of its Educational Research Programme, and undertaken
by the National Foundation for Educational Research. It concerns local
education authority policy and practice as regards the distribution of budgets
to mainstream schools with respect to their pupils with special and additional
educational needs; it builds on a series of NFER Membership Programme
studies completed during the 1990s.
Methodology
Data were collected by means of an analysis of a sample (56 English LEAs)
of budget statements prepared under the terms of the Education Act 1998
Section 52; case studies of six LEAs — three sets of authorities paired as
being close statistical neighbours but having contrasting approaches to
funding special education; and case studies of four primary and four
secondary schools within each case study authority.
