Cost of sending pupils to independent special schools

The request was successful.

Dear City of York Council,

I should be grateful if you answer the following questions:

1 How many pupils are educated in independent special schools who are funded by the local authority?
2 What is the annual total cost of placements (from the education budget) in independent special schools?
3 What is the cost of travel associated with these placements?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully,

J Downs
