No. Contrary to the impression which the House of Lords Judicial Committee (predecessor to the Supreme Court) seemed to have in B v Harrow (No 1) [2000] ELR 109, not all children with EHCPs (then Statements) attend special schools.
Indeed, most children with EHCPs, and all children with SEN but no EHCP whose parents choose to have them educated in a school, attend mainstream schools (either maintained schools, mainstream academies, or mainstream private schools): CFA2014 s34.
