This is a thorny area and I am not an expert. But one insight from being a primary school governor: getting an EHCP requires evidence the child's needs are not being met - evidence of ongoing failure, essentially. This can take until Y6. For it then to be up for reassessement in Y7 would be awful

Two new levels of support:
1/ Individual support plans (ISPs) for millions of kids in mainstream schools - incl access to psychologists & therapists etc
2/ EHCPs reserved for most severe SEND children from 2035 - and will be reassessed at next stage of education - eg secondary transition.
