When I was training kids, mainstream schools received around £8k per student per year. Depending on what 'problems' they came with, the special schools received between £80k - £110k per student and they only attended 4 days a week and no more than 4 hours a day. They all had one to one helpers, some of the right 'handfuls' had two to one. Big business. They were picked up and dropped off everywhere by cab. Costs the LA's a fùcking fortune.

What's the alternative?

I live next to one of these special schools (horrible little bastuwerd kids they are) , every single one of them is delivered and collected by taxi, no one walks up the driveway to it. Causes a heck of a que of taxies around here, they are all lined up waiting for their turn.
I have heard the school using walkie talkies to communicate to tell down the bottom who can go up and when.

what 1 in 4 kids have learning difficulties that severe they cant be potty trained dont talk nonsense that why i said some kids have issues

I never said they did. I said you can't tell why they aren't potty trained.

Standing speaking to a mate at half 8 in morning said he was just waiting for the taxi to pick his kids up to take them to school .
I says oh what school do they go to he points along street to the one 200 yards away that one but im not allowed to take them they have to get a taxi in .
Another mate is a taxi driver one of his runs is about 35 quid each way everyday for one kid to a school ten mile away the kids mum is the head teacher of the school . She will occasionally phone mate and say its ok i will take him in or home mate still gets paid .
As for the 200 yard run mate says they have to bid on all the trips and because a lot of the drivers think the 200 yard one would only be a few quid nobody bid on it so the guys clicked and stuck 10 and 15 quid bids in and won them as no one else bided on them

Mini buses are used throughout the LEA's in our area for special needs schools.

When I was fostering nearly every child we received under the age of 4 was in nappies, the only exception was a child from travelling community.

How's this possible???
Wouldn't be because schools get extra money for every child with learning disorders?

Schools DO get extra for special needs. Try getting it. It's not a sticker, like a well done- stick it on the kid and get 000s extra. Be a bit more discerning, Johnny! I suspect the 50% is a snowballed urban myth. 25% would be more believable.

 

[charliegolf]

Nappies? When I was a head, pupils were not admitted if not toilet trained. That concentrates the training, believe me.

I foolishly didn't read the whole tread before replying... There is some absolute claptrap being posted here. Proper Fox News stuff. If a kid showed up at my school in nappies, we aborted them, cos we're Democrats. True.

there is no dictate that says any child travelling to any school, special or otherwise needs a taxi.

guess reply number 35 is also making it up

, certain special behavioural problem schools will not allow parents to drop them off they are ferried in . This has nothing to do with free transport eligibility
