My Department considers that school-based education provision is the most appropriate intervention for all children, including those with special educational needs. Where a school placement is available, then the issue of home tuition does not arise.

In the absence of specific information concerning the pupil in question, I would advise the parents of this particular student to contact their school's special educational needs organiser to discuss any particular difficulties.
