Ofsted have decided that 450,000 British school children need to disappear off the Special Educational Needs Register because they are too expensive to maintain. I do not think that this government can sink any lower. I might be wrong.

What else should we have expected from an over-promoted lunatic ex head teacher and a Secretay of State for Education who is clearly much more concerned with exorcising his own very weird demons than with helping children to grow and learn?
As a matter of principle, I have never supported the blanket stigmatisation of children through the ‘special needs’ designation so favoured by educational psychologists over the last 40 years. I am, however, appalled that any Government would even contemplate the withdrawal of personalised help for children, parents and carers, let alone enact it.

What a bloody disgrace.
