Pupils may have an IEP with another record of support needs such as CSP or Other Need. Pupils with any combination of support needs are categorised above as having additional support needs.
The number of pupils identified with additional support needs has increased markedly since the 2010 census when information on additional support needs was collected in a different way. These increases represent continued improvements made to recording and an additional category of 'Child plans' introduced in 2011.
In East Renfrewshire, there are 1,113 primary aged pupils and 1,682 secondary aged pupils identified with additional support needs. The percentage of pupils in primary schools with additional support needs has generally increased annually but we have noted a slightly smaller proportion this session. In secondary, the values have increased annually in line with the national trend.
Dyslexia is the most common additional support need in total across East Renfrewshire prevalent in 9 per cent of the total secondary aged population and 2 per cent of the primary aged population. In secondary aged pupils, this is a rate of 91 per 1,000 pupils. In primary, the numbers represent a rate of 23 per 1,000 pupils. The overall national rate is 23 per 1,000 pupils and this includes both secondary and primary. Therefore East Renfrewshire has a much higher proportion of children and young people identified with dyslexia than the national average.
