In this blog we’re going to put into a nutshell how we meet the needs of children in the missing middle, so that all of our pupils get an education which is just the right fit for them. 

It has become common knowledge that the number of children identified as having special needs is rapidly increasing, usually quantified by the percentage of children with Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCPs) issued. Currently 2.5% of children in mainstream schools have an EHCP. However, less commonly spoken of are the children whose special needs are not part of the EHCP system.

Welcome to the Thoughts and News thread! Here you will find the founders blog with regular updates on the development of The Divergent School Group and our thoughts on key issues in special education. We will also use this space to share articles written by our team which have been published elsewhere.
