]]> Wed, 2 Apr 2008 03:39:59 UTC 3385135 Ms Anonymous [Signature #83] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3384792?utm_medium=rss I work in a secondary school (Teaching Assistant) and I can say with confidence that extra-needs education for the majority is substandard and woefully inadequate.

Staff are afraid to admit it, for fear of appearing incompetent or 'not coping'.

The most needy children are taught by the least qualified and low paid staff and thus our time is taken from supporting other pupils. Everyone loses.

This isn't inclusion; our undersized, inadequate room is exclusion by default.

Mainstream schools do not have the facilities to do this.

[Signature #77] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/3356128?utm_medium=rss I say leave parkside school alone after all the teachering staff do a wonderful job as it is, as i know as i went to Eaton Hall and i was the Captain of our football team and we played at their school Ground loads of time's and i always felt that they do a great job. These children,teacher's and the Family's of the Children do not need any more worries or uphefull. They need the same care and understanding that they get now from the wonderful staff at parkside school.

Therefore, one must build for increased capacity.
The savings procured now will be a false economy because to build additional capacity in the future at tomorrow's prices is folly.

The options being considered will have huge detrimental implications not only on the Special School Cliental but also on thoses awaiting suitable and appropriate placement. Complex Needs Schools will be unable to accommodate the needs of all. Why when the new Children's Plan is reccommending small appropriate provision is Norfolk planning to move in the opposite direction?

Please build a model for the future and others will look to Norfolk for solutions, which in itself will bring income opporunities. Good and appropriate special needs education will have a positive impact on health and social care and in the future, by investing now, these young people will be able to offer their communities skills and not be reliant on their community in years to come.

We haven't enough special school places now - today, as the population grows as we know it will schools will not be able to manage. We need more specialist provision, don't close/move what we have got, be brave stand by the Every Child Matters statement and increase the number of special schools in Norfolk. Give all our children the chance they deserve - a full time and appropriate education.
