Jake attends his local secondary school.
He is planning for his future, thinking about what job he might do, and he is expecting to continue his inclusive education into his school’s sixth form.
Sadly, this is not a given, as most mainstream sixth forms currently exclude students who have intellectual disabilities; they don’t yet offer inclusion or suitable alternative accreditation.
We hope Jake will be listened to and his preferences accommodated, so he does not experience the loss of his peers, so that he is not left behind.
