I am keen to update my understanding of provision in the LA and would be most grateful if you could answer the below questions:

1. Please provide the following details of any changes in capacity of SEND provision (e.g. school openings, expansions, closures etc) in Wokingham over the last 12 months (state and private) for young people aged 0-25
a) Name of school
b) Location of site
c) Type of change e.g. opening vs. expansion
d) The old capacity and the new capacity, with both numbers broken down into day places and residential places
e) The pupil age range
f) The type and acuity of SEND for which the provision caters
g) The approximate date of the opening/expansion/closure/etc.
h) If relevant, the name of the trust/group of which the provision is a part

2. Please provide the following details, if known, of any planned changes to the capacity of SEND provision (e.g. school openings, expansions, closures etc) in Wokingham over the next 4 years (state and private) for young people aged 0-25.
a) Name of school (if not yet named please mark as unknown)
b) Location of site
c) Type of change e.g. opening vs. expansion
d) The old capacity and the new capacity, with both numbers broken down into day places and residential places
e) The planned pupil age range
f) The type and acuity of SEND for which the provision will cater
g) The approximate planned opening date
h) If relevant, the name of the trust/group of which the provision will be a part

3. Please confirm whether the various projections found in the Wokingham SEND Sufficiency Statement 2025-30 are the most up-to-date forecasts or whether they have since been updated (if so, please provide the updated versions).

4. If available, please provide the total annual spend in Wokingham on funding EHCP placements for young people aged 0-25 (forecast or provisional) for the academic year 2025/26, if possible split by primary need.

5. Please could you provide a list of all the 'Other independent special schools' at which Wokingham currently has placements, and for each school please list the total number of current placements and then a breakdown of the total placements number according to the annual cost of the placement. This breakdown could be into buckets, for example, 'School X, 7 placements in total, Bucket 1: 0 placements cost £40-45k, Bucket 2: 3 placements cost £45-50k, Bucket 3: 1 placement costs £50-55k, Bucket 4: 3 placements cost £55-60k, etc.' The information you provided on this topic in September/October last year was incredibly helpful and I'm very keen to understand how the numbers have change from then to now.
