having not personally read the report

if this is true:

"In one primary school visited by inspectors, where a large number of service families had children, Ofsted said pupils were "inappropriately" identified as having special needs because their fathers had been deployed to Afghanistan.

The report said: "This group was … vulnerable to underachievement because their fathers were all serving in Afghanistan. However, although these pupils had additional needs for a period of time, this should not have required special educational needs to have been identified.""

i can see why there might be a need for clarification about who should or shouldn't be classed as 'special needs' without the likes of Dick Littlecock being allowed to jump on the report for their own purposes
