Looks at current policies around including children with learning difficulties in mainstream schools and at how this aim can be achieved. Discusses: the practicalities of inclusive education; the gap between inclusive policy and practice; re-configuring the role of special schools; and how the process of inclusion will develop beyond the classroom.

The future provision of education for pupils with special educational needs is at the heart of an international debate, and the inclusion of all pupils in mainstream schools has been the subject of many papers and discussions. In this paper, the authors observe that, despite general acceptance of humanistic arguments, there remains a dearth of research into the efficacy of inclusive practices. In calling for more evaluation, they suggest that the role of special schools for pupils with the most complex learning needs has been overlooked, and that their potential expertise should be harnessed in the move towards inclusion.
