A recent survey suggests that mainstream schools in the UK are failing children with special educational needs

MAINSTREAM NOT SPECIAL
A recent survey suggests that mainstream schools in the UK are failing children with special educational needs, with nearly third of statemented children in mainstream primaries severely under-performing for their age and ability. The research, published in the Good Schools Guide - Special Educational Needs, supports the growing campaign against the closure of special schools, which are six times less likely to be judged inadequate than their main-stream counterparts but three times more likely to be shut. A third of statemented children in mainstream primaries score up to 3.5 marks less than expected in tests. But for special schools the figure is only 2%.
