This is really interesting. I’ve know that SEND is a drain on local authority finance but never really understood how it works.

Though I’ll admit my biggest take home from this is “you did that 19,000 times?”

Thank for writing - interesting piece. I hope you didn't really enter all those school references into Excel yourself. If you did and something similar comes up again in the future, send me a message as I may be able to help - automating Excel is something I'm pretty good at.

Thanks - and yes I did… duly noted, I’ll turn to you if I consider it next time because it was, as you can imagine, an insane thing to do
