Leading primary school ‘shuts children as young as five with special needs in a cramped isolation room if they misbehave’

Screaming pupils have kicked and headbutted the walls of the 5ft by 6ft room at Caddington Village School near Luton in Bedfordshire, according to a newspaper which says it is reporting claims by whistleblowers.
