NFER Senior Economist Michael Scott looks into the latest DfE data on the Further Education teacher workforce.

NFER Senior Research Manager Matt Walker blogs on our recent research into the disproportionate number of SEND pupils in certain mainstream schools, outlining why this matters and what needs to change.

New research has shown increasing proportions of pupils with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are becoming concentrated in a small number of mainstream schools in England, placing growing pressure on those schools and raising questions about fairness across the system.  

Michael Scott discusses the challenges facing primary schools, despite increasing teacher recruitment and falling exit rates.

NFER Chief Executive Carole Willis has given her reaction to the announcement of special educational needs system reforms in today's King's Speech.
