The snap schools here is a dump, really it makes me want to cry. The facilities are crap, it hasn't had money put into it for years, they applied for a new school when the grants were being handed out but were turned down despite the fact its far too small and not fit for purpose.
Two new primary schools were built and a huge new academy, all with state of the art facilities for pupils with special needs, other schools got grants to improve facilities for sn pupils, my friend visited and it made her want to cry when she compared the amazing facilities at the mainstream secondary school with our sn school. The reason to us is pretty clear, our kids aren't worth the investment, sn kids are seen as the lowest of the low, why put money into them if they probably won't ever work and of they do it Will be in a low paid job and they'll still be costing the state.
Really, I think purpose kids school, which is an ex old peoples home and not fit for purpose, which hasn't had any money put into it, with its drab concrete playground and the tiny hall pretty much sums up the attitude towards people with severe learning difficulties in this country and I think it bleddy stinks.
