A mother of a teenage boy with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties has phoned to thank Elizabeth Rene, assistant head of outreach at the Clifford Holroyde Centre of Expertise in Liverpool, for her help. His school has also called, to say they're grateful for Rene's support, because they didn't know where else to turn. "If you have the school, parent and support services working together you can go in the right direction," enthuses Rene.
Clifford Holroyde, which has 50 boys aged eight to 16 with social, emotional and behavioural difficulties on its roll, is one of 12 special schools chosen by the Government to act as special educational needs trailblazers. Each school will receive an additional 100,000 in capital funding and around 129 extra per pupil for four years, to enable them to undertake outreach activities and share their expertise with mainstream schools to support inclusion.
