Education policy

This discussion paper seeks to draw together an analysis of the current arrangements for funding of special schools and alternative provision, the concerns for the future, and recommends immediate and longer-term action.

This new narrative helps reframe how specialist provision is recognised. Developed in consultation with CST members that run special schools and alternative provision settings, it reflects a shared ambition: to articulate a confident, collective voice that positions this part of the sector.

The Department for Education has launched a consultation on school accountability, including proposals for new school profiles. This member briefing explores the concepts around the proposal.
