Thirteen parents have teamed up to raise concerns that an inadequate Norfolk special school is failing to meet pupils needs .
The parents, whose children have complex autism disorders, say their concerns relate to high staff turnover and a lack of professionalism among executive management at Acorn Park independent residential and day school in Banham.
They joined forces with national special educational needs and disabilities (SEND) activist and consultant Janet Willicott, who collated the 13 parents testimonies to “inform the Department for Education (DFE)” after a February 2020 Ofsted inspection saw Acorn Park School (APS) rated “inadequate”, and a “notice to improve” order was issued in September last year.
