“The school priority to improve its SEND provision remains focused on ensuring an inclusive culture where every pupil is able to achieve”, he added.
Leigh, the mother of one a 12-year-old girl neurodivergent girl who felt “embarrassed” that she was forced to produce the lanyard when requested, has welcomed the reversal.
She is part of the Brinnington SEND group of parents who fought to overturn the lanyard requirements.
“We’re very grateful that the trust have revoked the lanyard policy that should never have been implemented”, Leigh said.
“Well done to students to handling the awful situation they were put in.”
