A report shows that schools in England are struggling to provide support for the 1.1. million pupils with special needs or disabilities (SEND) in conventional classrooms.
A survey of 1,100 school leaders found interruptions in assessments, inadequate budgets and cuts to local authorities were hindering the ability to cope.
The study by The Key, which delivers leadership and management support to schools, demands an increase in funding.
The government says it has increased funding for those with “high needs”.
