Wiltshire Council propose to close St Nicholas & Larkrise schools & hide our children away in a ‘super’ school in the middle of nowhere! We say NO!

This is heartbreaking, concerning and very worrying to read about our most vulnerable children, and, sadly, this is happening all over the country. Something HAS to be done to help our special schools. 😢😢

Our schools will remain open and if they try to shut them in the future we will campaign again! In the meantime we are looking forward to working with the Council to create an amazing three site school suitable for all our children. #keepspecialschoolslocal

This is why we have joined with @TheSun to campaign for more money for social care for disabled children and their families. Add your name to our open letter to the Chancellor #GiveItBack bit.ly/2WqC1iV
We’ve always said it’s a no brainer that we need MORE special schools not less!!! #keepspecialschoolslocal

As disabled children and families march throughout the country government statistics show that things are getting worse. The percentage of EHCPs completed within the 20 week MAXIMUM time limit has decreased by 5%. Only 60% completed within the legal limit. #SendNationalCrisis

Did you know that pupils with special educational needs/disabilities are six times more likely to be excluded from English state schools than pupils without SEND? This is why we are marching on Thursday 30th May. Please join the #SendNationalCrisis march. @SendCrisis

Children with special educational needs/disabilities are being failed, forced out of school, left without education or without suitable education, their legal rights undermined. This is why families are marching this Thursday 30th May. @SendCrisis #SendNationalCrisis

Just FOUR days to go until thousands of disabled children, their families and supporters will be demonstrating at 28 locations (Manchester just added). If you care about the future of children with #SEND please join the #SendNationalCrisis march on 30th May. @SendCrisis
