Estimated outcome breakdown
Estimated, not reported
No outcome breakdown available.
This council's own answer doesn't give a usable outcome breakdown. This estimate applies the pooled England-wide outcome rate (no regional sample was large enough to trust on its own) to this council's own real, officially-published appeal volume for 2025 (0 appeals) — see how estimates work.

Awaiting classification
'The City of London confirms that the amount of £2,577,286.32 was spent on SEND provision for the period queried.' 'The City of London confirms that the amount of £2,845.50 was spent on legal teams for cases dealing with SEND appeals.' 'The City of London confirms that it received 6 SEND appeals.' 'Of these appeal cases decided by tribunal, how many were in favour of the council? The City of London confirms that 1 case was decided in favour.' Council also notes the City ('Square Mile') has a resident population of about 10,847, including approximately 691 children aged 0-18.
Caveat: This is NOT part of the Joel M Benjamin 32-authority batch (City of London was not included in that batch — it targeted only the 32 boroughs). This response instead comes from a separate, much larger Fraser Knight campaign ('LBC REQUEST - FOI SEND provision', titled the same as the Kent-area campaign referenced in the brief) that was sent nationally to 339 authorities, not just Kent-adjacent councils — it also reached at least Hounslow, Barnet, Bexley, Brent, Bromley, Camden and Waltham Forest among London boroughs (not individually catalogued here since the Joel Benjamin campaign already gives fuller London coverage). Figures are aggregate across the whole 2019-2024 period, not broken down by year, and 'favour of the council' is a coarser outcome measure than won/lost-by-year. Council confirms this is a very small base (6 appeals total) given the City's tiny resident/school-age population.
