Inclusion is thus ensured; but it is students from outside who are ‘included’ within the community of pupils with statements of special educational need. Those pupils of Marshfields who stay on at school after the age of 16 (and many do) have a choice of courses, either entirely within the school, or a joint course with the local college of further education. The employment prospects of pupils from the school are excellent. But, more important, the school is highly respected by parents, and is an object of deep commitment and loyalty to its pupils, many of whom prefer to stay at the school rather than return to mainstream schools, though ready to do so.
This reflects a very welcome recognition that SEN is not one phenomenon, but many. Excellent though this initiative is, it will not directly or immediately benefit any child with special needs unless he is fortunate enough to live within or not far outside the catchment area of one of these specialist schools that happens to fit with his particular disability. Special Educational Needs: A New Look Nevertheless, it is huge step forward, if only for the rather absurd reason that, while the designation ‘special school’ has always alarmed parents, and made them anxious to avoid sending their children to one if avoidance were possible, the designation ‘specialist school’ sounds better, and indeed commands a certain amount of respect among parents, at least in large cities, where one may actually choose to send one’s child to a specialist school (in, say, languages) rather than to another available school.
I must add that ministers and civil servants cannot escape blame for the low esteem in which special schools are currently held. Their treatment of such schools as regrettable necessities, suitable only for the most severely disabled, has to a considerable extent made this outcome inevitable. There are now some hopeful signs, but it would be wrong to be too optimistic. I believe that the reforms advocated by Tomlinson should have been implemented and put in place as soon as possible. Nothing would go further towards ensuring the proper inclusion of all children within one educational enterprise than the introduction of one overarching system of diplomas with varied content, and the end of segregation between A level students and the rest.
