ABSTRACT
Many features of education at Raddery are potentially transferable to the ordinary school and are likely to enhance educational opportunity for many other children at ordinary schools. Morning meeting at Raddery is the foundation of the human bonding that characterizes staff support, staff commitment to children and perhaps the capacity of children to help one another at the deepest levels. Raddery takes forty children from all over the north of Scotland and some from further afield. The Centre for Studies in Integration argues that there are no children with special needs who could not be integrated into ordinary schools. The transferable elements might include the approach to teamwork and staff support, the involvement of children in the some of the management, relationships with parents and other professionals, and so on. The teacher's ability to manage this is likely to be hampered by the number of children in the class.
