A parent of a pupil at Salisbury School has spoken of his anger and disappointment over the proposal to close the special needs school saying his daughter has "nowhere else to go". His daughter, who has attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) among other issues, was struggling in mainstream education and had been expelled from one school, before she was accepted into Salisbury. I'm a high school teacher so I'm very aware that as a high school organisation we do not cater for the bottom 5 per cent at all. If it closed "my daughter has nowhere to go", he said. [We had] no idea how to deal with her anymore, it was so difficult for us," Mr Clayton said.
