Notes:
1. Estimated gross expenditure, rather than net expenditure, is given as income cannot be split between nursery, mainstream and special schools.

2. Financial data are taken from LEAs 2003–04 Section 52 Budget statements submitted to the DfES.

3. The SEN element of the schools budget includes the provision for pupils with statements, specialist report for statemented and non-statemented pupils, fees for pupils at independent special schools and abroad and collaboration and integration.

4. The SEN element of the LEA budget includes educational psychology service/assessments and statementing, LEA functions in relation to child protection, health service partnerships/special medical attention, parent partnership, guidance and information and promoting good practice and collaboration. Figures are at LEA level rather than school level and consequently cannot be allocated to phase of education.
