Petition Change the title of Special Schools to Support Schools.

The use of Special in the name of the school is degrading and out of date. We need to give children with additional needs more respect. The use of Special is an old fashioned term that needs changing as soon as possible

More details

I have a grandson who has autism and every time I see the word Special on his school name I am upset . The children need support so why not call them Support schools . It would be great for the children and their families if they were not made to feel " Special" but just part of the educational system.
