Henshaws Specialist College on Bogs Lane, Harrogate, made headlines in October when it excluded 14 of its students, with 'the most complex needs', over staffing shortages. Last year, the college was rated as requiring improvement by Ofsted and the Care Quality Commission - but now it says it is taking a positive turn, after appointing its new principal, Adrian Sugden. … Mr Sugden has worked with young people with a range of special needs and disabilities, including autism and Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs across the north of England, including Bradford, Nottinghamshire and Darlington.
