Council caught 'lying' as parents win special school cuts battle

Cornwall Council reversed its decision regarding funding for Pencalenick School near Truro.
An angry parent brought a legal challenge, supported by Watkins Solicitors, leading to the reversal.
The Council planned to cease £563,000 funding for the school's residential boarding facility from September 1, 2025.
Gregg Burrough of Watkins Solicitors quoted the Council as saying there is "no decision to challenge."
The reversal means vulnerable students can continue to access vital support for their development and wellbeing.
