Alderman Knight Action Group (AKAG) has been formed principally by friends and parents of Alderman Knight School to oppose plans to close this very special school. Gloucestershire County Council plans to close all MLD (Moderate Learning Difficulties) special schools and 25% of the EBD (Emotional & Behavioural Difficulties) special schools, under the guise of increasing inclusion for SEN (Special Educational Needs) children. |

These have been cut down to two – option 2 closure and option 6 Alderman Knight School continuing as a special school with the addition of providing outreach to mainstream schools in North Gloucestershire. |
