Parents of children who went to a Wirral school at the centre of a BBC investigation have issued a statement.
The group is being supported by Kirwans Solicitors and asked for privacy as “the process of healing our children will be a long and difficult one.” The independent school was regulated by the Department for Education and Ofsted but it was also paid more than £2.2m by Wirral Council. Ofsted also rated the school “good” and found no issues during an emergency inspection called after concerns were raised about the school.
In a letter sent to parents, the local authority’s Childrens, Families and Education director Elizabeth Hartley said the local authority were trying to find placements for children, adding: “I know from my involvement in SEND services over the last 2 years that getting an EHCP and the right school placement will have taken many of you a long time, and that this will feel like being back at square one.
A Wirral Council spokesperson said: “At all times, we have sought to exercise the powers we have to keep children safe and achieving their educational outcomes and that has included liaising with the Department for Education, as the regulator of independent schools, and Ofsted as the inspectorate.
