Annual Cost of SEN School Placements 2024 to 2025

1) I would like to make a FOI request to obtain the Annual Cost of SEN School placements in the 2024-2025 year per student, Please include the lowest placement and the highest placement. 



2) Could you also provide similar data for Alternative provisions (Separate to SEN) schools



Clarification:

I am looking for a breakdown on how much LCC have spent on different SEN placements EG:



Athena Lowest £8000 Highest £28,0000,



Aegir Lowest £7000, Highest, £25,000



Etc…



If you could do something similar for alternative provisions eg, Pilgrim, Acorn etc.



This is for maintained settings only.

I can confirm that the information requested is held by Lincolnshire County Council. I have detailed below the information that is being released to you.  
 
1. For mainstream settings, the top-up cost range of Mild (£4,803) to Profound (£14,063) as these are the 4 main bands we use, this is an average cost per student.

For maintained Special schools we fund through bands, Band A - G and dependent on Pupils needs within EHCP and starts from £6,733 up to £26,008 dependent on support required. This discounts exceptional funding which is added as a top up on top of national funding and is bespoke to the needs.

2. None are maintained at LCC
