NDCS has updated their briefing note on what government figures say on the attainment of deaf children in England, from the Early Years Foundation Stage to Key Stage 4. The briefing note now includes figures from last year.
The briefing note can also be accessed via www.ndcs.org.uk/data.
NDCS note “By way of reminder, government figures only capture deaf children if they have been formally identified as having a special educational need (i.e. those at SEN support level or who have an EHC plan). These figures also exclude those where deafness is not the primary need. These figures should therefore be used with caution. They are, however, the best figures that are publicly available that we are aware of. They may be helpful to services looking for figures to benchmark their own service level data against.”
