Her daughter, who has learning difficulties, is due to start the school year with nowhere to go.

By Danny Fullbrook & Kate BradbrookA mother said she felt her daughter, who had not secured a school place this September, was being "penalised for having a learning disability".

Hayley Whitaker, lead member for children's services and deputy leader of the council, said the authority was working on a "huge building programme" to accommodate people like Maisie.
