Keep Special Schools Local SEN

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!

[Keep Special Schools Local SEN @keep_sen]

Back to school for our children at St Nicholas and Larkrise and back to the battlefield with @wiltscouncil Its far from over on this flawed school closure proposal! https://t.co/HNy2EEwtE0

Great concert. So much community support for our local Special Needs schools!

[Sarah Fleming @SarahFl89290913]

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. 😢😢

[Keep Special Schools Local SEN @keep_sen]

None of this would have been possible without the help and support of you lot out there in the local community so we want to say an absolutely huge thank you to you all. Collective action really can work!
Keep following us for updates!!!

[Keep Special Schools Local SEN @keep_sen]

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.

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 https://t.co/4gKiSh2Hdh

[Keep Special Schools Local SEN @keep_sen]

Such a positive statement to make! I hope other County Councils will follow suit @wiltscouncil @laura4roundway #keepspecialschoolslocal #SENDcrisis #togetherwearestronger

[John Rickards @johnofbath]

Hi @wiltscouncil @laura4roundway here’s a positive public statement from our neighbouring county! Anything similar from you available? #keepspecialschoolslocal @keep_sen @wadds_emily

[Keep Special Schools Local SEN @keep_sen]

Looks like a great turnout in Bristol

[Keep Special Schools Local SEN @keep_sen]

Well done to our campaign members Lisa and Nick with Jacob today taking part in the Bristol march! #SENDCrisisMarch #SENDcrisis #keepspecialschoolslocal #togetherwearestronger

[SEND Action @SEND_Action]

Massive shout out to Poppy, Nadia and Sharon at @SendCrisis and all the local co-ordinators and supporters who have organised the #SendNationalCrisis march. They are truly amazing.

[SEND Action @SEND_Action]

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

[Keep Special Schools Local SEN @keep_sen]

The ☀️is shining! Massive shout out to all those marching today for all the children and young people with special needs!! Shouting loud for those who don’t have a voice. #togetherwearestronger

[SEND Action @SEND_Action]

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

[SEND Action @SEND_Action]

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

[Kath Scott 💫 @Kathscott102]

Tomorrow, we will march and we will let you know @DamianHinds what you are up against… We will NOT STAND for this any longer...

I thought this was very clever #kids #family

[SEND Action @SEND_Action]

This is why disabled children and their families are marching on 30th May in the #SendNationalCrisis at more than 25 locations throughout England and Wales. @SendCrisis
