A four-year-old boy with non-verbal autism has been rejected from a SEND school in York for the second year in a row, his furious mum says.

Natalie Gill, who lives in Tang Hall, said her son Alfie was denied a place at Hob Moor Oaks School - which is the only school in York with SEND (special educational needs and disabilities) provision - for a second year.

City of York Council said Hob Moor Oaks had limited capacity for SEND students and places were allocated on the basis of greatest need.  

Natalie, a single mother of two and full time carer, said: "He has quite complex needs. Alfie is non-verbal autistic with pica, bowel problems and learning delay."
