A 12-year-old boy who has Autism has spent months out of the classroom and is now facing a new battle to get transport to his new special school. Charlie Bowe was forced to leave mainstream education just weeks into year seven as his school couldn't meet his needs, according to his family.
However, despite his last lesson being in October, Charlie technically remained on roll for several months afterwards. He had no work sent home for him since then and his mum Samantha Bowe has said: "It was affecting his mental health. He was really upset.”
They lodged a special needs tribunal and, following that, he was offered a place at a special needs school. StokeonTrentLive reported that Samantha says that the school, Abbey Hill, is "the best place for him" and Charlie started there last week.
