A Welsh school has been told to apologize to a teenager and his family after a tribunal found it discriminated against him by failing to support his additional needs—and it’s a story that’s hitting home for many parents. 15-year-old Kian Mills, from Port Talbot, was pulled out of St Joseph’s Catholic School by his parents last June, after what they describe as a relentless and unfair cycle of punishments.
Over just two years, Kian received more than 250 sanctions, including detentions, exclusions, and isolations. His parents, Julie and Aldon, say the school failed to take his ADHD and dyslexia into account and that instead of helping him, it made things worse, reported Wales Online.
