Nick Gibb, the School Standards Minister, was pressed over funding for special needs pupils at a meeting with Pajes, the Jewish Leadership Council’s schools network, this week.
Raisel Freedman, Pajes public affairs lead, said, “Despite the government’s commitment to raise the allocation for SEND , we discussed whether it is having the intended impact.
“We have been informed that they are currently reviewing the allocation as they are aware that there is still some way to go to provide greater support for schools.”
The delegation, which included Pajes executive director Rabbi David Meyer and Jake Berger, education policy and youth engagement officer at the Board of Deputies, raised a number of issues with Mr Gibb.
