Celebrating the Special School
Description
This book challenges the assumption made by some that special schools are a second-best educational option for their pupils. While acknowledging the government's efforts to promote and implement inclusion and inclusive policies in mainstream schools, the author contends that in reality few schools are adequately prepared to provide for all pupils with SEN. The book features many case studies of different kinds of independent and maintained special schools from different parts of the country. It includes the views of both parents and students and discusses the dichotomy in schools of raising standards, while being inclusive. It also assesses the future role of special schools.About the author:
Michael Farrell is an independent consultant in Special Educational Needs.
