A furious mum claims that her son is a "prisoner" at his special school where he gets little more than a "babysitting service".
Katie Hattersley's son Joe, 17, attends Hazel Oak, in Solihull, an all-age special school - rated outstanding in its most recent Ofsted report - which caters for children with moderate learning difficulties, many of whom are on the autistic spectrum.
But Katie wants to move Joe to another school in Coventry as she claimed Joe, who has speech and language difficulties, currently gets little more than a "babysitting service" at the provider's sixth form, reported BirminghamLive.
