A school leader in Surrey warns that Labour’s proposed reforms to special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) provision could lead to pupils being “pushed out” of mainstream or specialist education. Jonathan Hetherington, head of More House School, says the overhaul risks “woeful outcomes” for children with needs similar to those his school supports. He argues that changes to how support is delivered could disrupt existing arrangements and affect access to appropriate teaching and services. The warning reflects concerns that reforms may not be implemented in a way that maintains current levels of support, potentially leaving some children without suitable educational placements. The reporting also highlights that Hetherington’s comments are based on anticipated impacts of the reform plans rather than a specific incident or outcome. While the article presents one school leader’s perspective, it centers on the broader debate about how proposed SEND changes will affect vulnerable pupils’ access to education. The claims raise questions about resourcing, placement decisions, and the ability of the system to meet complex needs under the new approach.
