SEND Benchmarking Club

The 2026 SEND reforms are reshaping how local areas plan, deliver and demonstrate support for children and young people with special educational needs.

About our SEND Benchmarking Club

Growing national evidence base for SEND reforms  

As the UK’s leading SEND data specialist, Mime has developed the SEND Benchmarking Club. The SEND Benchmarking club offers data that enables meaningful analysis and peer comparisons to inform decisions about SEND reform plans. It is a collaborative space where learnings emerge and solutions surface. Membership is free and straightforward: submit your DfE template and we will do the analysis.  

Clarity that strengthens decision making  

We combine your data with Mime’s trusted national, regional and local forecasts to create clear comparative insight. Interactive maps and colour-coded visual analysis help you assess performance, identify patterns and see where action is needed with ease and clarity. 

Mime’s SEND Benchmarking Club is the only national dataset for SEND reforms of its kind. With local authorities from across England already signed up, it is a growing community of peers united in our shared mission to have a sustainable SEND system that delivers the best possible outcome
