Special Educational Needs: A Contextualised Perspective
Lupton, Ruth; Thrupp, Martin; Brown, Ceri
British Journal of Educational Studies, v58 n3 p267-284 2010
The paper examines variations in the extent of special education needs (SEN) in different socio-economic contexts, drawing on data from 46 English primary schools. It examines the implications of variations in SEN for individual pupils and for school organisation and processes. It reviews funding allocations for SEN and what they mean for the provision of support in different settings. (Contains 3 tables and 9 notes.)
