6.6 Over three quarters of pupils in publicly funded special schools in 1999 had a Record of Needs. Around 44 per cent of pupils with a Record of Needs were aged between 5 and 11 and a further two-fifths were aged between 12 and 15. Very few were aged under 5. There was little difference in the age distribution of boys and girls with a Record of Needs. A slightly higher percentage of the girls were aged 16 and over.
6.7 Of pupils without a Record of Needs, over 1 in 5 was aged under 5, two-fifths were aged between 5 and 11 and a third between 12 and 15. Twenty-four per cent of girls were aged under 5, compared to 17 per cent of boys. Eleven per cent of girls were aged 16 and over, compared to just 6.0 per cent of boys.
