Hospital School
1. How many children and young people did you place at your local hospital school as part of the EHCP process in 2018-19, 2021-22 and 2022-23, either via LA direction or any other LA-run mechanism such as Decision Making Groups?
2. How many SEND tribunal hearings took place where a parent sought a placement at your hospital school in each of the years 2018-19, 2021-22 and 2022-23?
3. Where children and young people with an EHCP were placed at your hospital school in the academic year 2022-23, either via LA mechanisms or SEND tribunal hearings, what proportion of these students were additionally funded (over and above the hospital school's block funding from the DfE) in order to ensure that the hospital school could meet the child's needs?
The answer to all of the above questions is 0 as Thurrock Council does not have a hospital school.
