Nottingham's special educational needs services have avoided a written statement of action from the Government following an intensive inspection last year. The Government instead says it was "encouraged" by the city's services and efforts to improve them.
According to the latest statistics there are 47,335 children and young people in Nottingham schools and 7,418 (or 15.7percent) have special educational needs and disabilities (SEND).
Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission conducted an inspection spanning a number of days in early November last year. It was generally positive, finding there is an "appropriate strategy in place to improve outcomes for children and young people with SEND" while leaders were beginning to "overcome" significant organisational change".
