We said
Thank you for your request.
The ONS Labour Force Survey (LFS) interviews adults aged 16 and over and collects information on their qualification. From this survey data we only hold information on children aged 16-17. The Labour force survey doesn't collect attainment levels for qualification and can't identify SEN pupils. Therefore, the required breakdowns are not held by the Office for National Statistics.
We believe your request is better placed with the Department for Education, you can make a freedom of information request to them on the following form Contact us- Department for Education.
