Special schools shortage leave thousands of kids ‘lost’ in system
Thousands of the most vulnerable and troubled children in England have been lost in the education system because there is not enough specialist provision to look after them, with many ‘high risk’ kids being out of school for nearly two years.
Sky News has spoken to education leaders who say there are not enough special schools for children with severe behavioural and mental health problems.
And the problem is likely to get worse as children suffering mental problems from the pandemic enter the system.

My son is in mainstream with ADHD and short term memory issues, there are no special needs schools in my area at all. Closing any special needs school is disgusting.

I thought parents wanted provision in main stream schools rather than separate schools? I know the SENCO system has changed since my daughter entered in 1994. I know how hard it is. Does he not get LSA support? If not that’s disgraceful. I’m sorry x

They’re ALL lost in the system!! Government make school so boring and dull that most can’t wait to leave for their factory or shop job! Only private schools teach, and the state schools are designed to feed the shops,factories, cleaners, taxis bus drivers bin men etc! Shame more people can’t see it, we merely exist to work.
this is direct results of tory austerity . yes fully agea This tory goverment don't give a F
My grand son was saved by maple field he started at. 4 -16and went on for 7yeas as a special needs teacher assistant he stills s struggles, but he’s doing so good. We are so proud of him.
i graduated from a special school last year and loking back I am glad i got into a special school beacuse I was expelled twice from my primary school but they didnt know how to handle SEN students but when i got in to a special school they helped me gain clarity with my emotions however the school got more and more crowded due t the lack of SEN schools in the UK
this is direct results of tory austerity , closing these type of schools and creating special units in mainstream schools doesn't seem to work , plus its difficult teaching experience i managed 6 years in this job and left teaching all together afterwards

It has nothing to do with austerity and everything to do with liberal politicians being "politically correct", trying to do mainstreaming and terrain flattening. Liberals want to abolish grammar schools, abolish private schools and abolish special schools, to place ALL disabled people into mainstream schools, on the basis that those 3 types of non-mainstream schools, that they are ablelist, sexist, classist and racist. All to promote their "equality of outcome" and "equal and equitable representation" so group X and group Y are equally represented within the same schools.

I’m 20 now and got diagnosed with autism/ Asperger’s when I was 18 and I really struggled when I was in school/ collage. No one understood how hard it was for me to learn or do exams and it resulted in me doing terrible in everything I did but the things I loved like art and I look back now and think iv missed out on a lot all because no one , not even my parents gave me help I really needed.
10 closed last year and more will close this year? And yet austerity is supposed to be over and we are now "levelling up"??? Yeah right Boris.

I have worked with young people with SEND. They need the right support in order to thrive. Build more schools!!!! Also pay staff more money. SEN staff are specially skilled yet are amongst the lowest pay A SEN LSA will be lucky to make £23,000 a year! I’m Incredivly lucky my son has a special school. They need more residential schools that are therapeutic.
the closures happened under the ideal of equality thinking that their is no distinct difference to educational matters when it comes to education under the process of mainstreaming like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole.
I went to new rush hall and its the best school by far. I moved away and went to the london boxing academy after but wish I could've stayed at nrhs because they genuinely helped. Big up mr blake, made english lessons fun.
They need to keep more of these schools open, thats it they just need to.
Over a year of no school for my son .... still waiting a placement for somewhere like this . My heart breaks for him
No government EVER cares about those born with ruined lives, through no fault of their own, but there's always all manner of sympathy for those stupid addicts who CHOOSE to screw up their OWN lives through their own weakness, well they won't get any such sympathy from me!
I went to a special boarding school in the early 1980s . I cannot credit that place enough. It made me . Put the past in a box and build a new brighter future . Sadly the school closed in 1993 .
it seems more like an asylum to me 😣

I was like this is primary never knew why i was the only one acting like that, got kicked out and ended up going to a special needs school due to the fact i was being refused to mainstream school and found out i have asd and adhd when i was 15. I ended up in the care system because my episodes got so bad that my mum didnt know how to help me anymore. Failed by the camhs team when i was younger, i feel things wouldnt have got so bad if they didnt forget about my case for years until it was too late. I'd hate for this to keep happening to young people like that, its not fair
I'm a year 10 student at a SEMH school within the Parallel Learning Trust, we have recently been growing so much and opened our 2nd site with the same Head teacher! There's 7 different academy's in the trust. (8 with our second one)
