A MUM has hit out at education chiefs after school place offered to her disabled son was withdrawn.

Amy Thomas from Egremont said that her son, Kyla who has spinal muscular atrophy type 1, was due to start reception at Thornhill Primary School in Thornhill near Egremont at the start of next term.

The family were "looking forward" to September when they thought Kylan, 3, would be starting school - something Amy claims the school said could no longer happen.

Thornhill Primary School Headteacher, Mrs Wendy Figes, said: "For reasons of confidentiality, we will not comment on circumstances involving an individual child but said the school prided itself on being inclusive.

Readers, however, are backing Amy, urging her to keep on fighting for her little boy.

Debbie Irving: "Awful Amy. Hope you get what you want for Kylan , good luck Hun don’t give up."

Jacqui Smith"Absolutely appalling, keep fighting Amy, poor wee man was looking forward to starting."

Megan Amy Tinnion:" (Another) school did this to my son few years ago. The day he was supposed to start I got a phone call to say he couldn't go in so he joined the lovely St Bridgets. Itwas all down to him being very poorly and always in and out of hospital
