The noble Lord, Lord Mohammed, asked about the relationship to pupil premium. Pupil premium funding entitlements will continue to be based on the existing free school meals threshold. We are reviewing how we will allocate pupil premium, to ensure that it is targeted to those who need it most. However, we will be maintaining the overall amount that we spend on tackling the challenges faced by children with additional needs, for some of the reasons that the noble Lord outlined.
