I didn’t think I’d blog today, but I just saw this story on the evening news: ”A shortage of special needs funding means growing numbers of children are being left without suitable school places, a teachers’ leader has warned. National Education Union leader Kevin Courtney said official statistics showed 4,050 special needs pupils were without a place in 2017 in England.” Kids with special needs, it’s becoming clearer and clearer, are being failed by the tories. Their cuts are denying increasing numbers of children with additional needs the education they deserve. It’s utterly scandalous. But will the Tories admit this is a direct effect of their cuts? Will they hell.
