Three years ago, our Chair, Anne Longfield, met Lily and her Mum Mandy. Lily has Special Educational Needs, and when Anne met her she was being home-schooled after a succession of mainstream schools had failed to meet her needs.
A couple of weeks ago, we heard from Mandy, who told us that Lily had just received excellent GCSE results.
We asked them to tell us about their experiences of the education system, in their own words.
