A boy has remained at home for five months after being expelled from school when he was just four years-old. Laura Jordan claimed her son Zac, now five, is scared to go outside because he has spent so much time indoors.
She was shocked to discover that councils are not required to get youngsters back into school if they are expelled before their fifth birthday. Zac was asked to leave Holly Hill Church School, in Rubery, Worcs, in October after a number of behaviour problems, including attacks on other pupils and staff, reports the Mirror.
But his mum, 36, believes he has undiagnosed special educational needs that cannot be handled in mainstream schools. Worcestershire County Council has apologised for failing to find a suitable school for Zac and said it is working with his mum to get him back into education.
