Mum's anger after visually-impaired daughter refused school transport

A frustrated mum hit out at her local council after her partially-sighted daughter was refused school transport. Shari Richards said she is "angry, disappointed and upset" for her daughter Neveah who also has mental health issues.

Shari said Neveah, 11, needs full-time, adult supervision while she is outdoors. The single mum has three other children to sort on a morning but said she will strive to get her daughter to their preferred school.

Speaking to PlymouthLive, Shari told how how Neveah was accepted in the top 50 out of 300 pupils for Devonport High School for Girls (DHSG). "Nevaeh did her 11+ and she got in the top 50 out of 300 plus kids which I thought was brilliant," she said.
