Data Provider: Welsh Government National Statistics Pupils with special educational needs by major need and year, to January 2016

No longer updated. From January 2017 maintained schools were allowed to report as many types of special educational need for a pupil as required and the ranking of those needs was removed. The 'Major need' used in earlier publications no longer applies and therefore the figures are not directly comparable with previous years.
