Parents of a girl with autism and development delay say she has been given a new school without them knowing about it. Scarlett Severn, 6, lives in Kirkby-in-Ashfield and currently attends Morvern Park Primary School.
She is approaching the end of Year 2, and due to her special educational needs, teachers at the school told Scarlett's parents a new school would have to be found for the new academic year. This is because the school can no longer meet her requirements. She is on medication for her autism, which her mother describes as "severe".
Mother Sallyann Prosser, 45, who works for a domestic cleaning house and commercial company, said the family was fine with the change, and submitted Bracken Hill School in Kirkby-in-Ashfield as their preferred option. The family was asked to submit four schools but submitted just one.
