Up to 50 new school places for children with special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) are to be created in the City of Westminster, London by 2021, while 11 schools will receive investment to help increase provision and improve facilities as part of the Department for Education’s (DfE) Special Provision Capital Fund. Schools were invited to bid for the capital funding earlier this year.

Mainstream schools, academies and special schools, as well as early years settings and further education colleges, are set to benefit from the funding, which aims to improve special provision for children and young people with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs).
