Before he started at school he was happy and chatty but he became upset and frustrated because of the lack of support.”Mrs Buniak took the school to the tribunal in October. Until recently, medical experts believed Lee suffered from a mild form of autism but they now believe that his “social difficulties and explosive behaviour” are largely emotionally driven rather than due to underlying autism Mrs Buniak said: “It was a year of trauma for Lee Not being in the school Christmas play was the lowest point. This meant that Lee could only join in class for two hours a day when his assistant was there. His mother, Helen, estimated that Lee lost 920 hours of support that year.Lee has learning difficulties and communications problems, which mean that he has no perception of danger and does not understand risk to others or himself. A tribunal ruled that he had been discriminated against because of his disability.
Lee Buniak, who has learning difficulties, was left out of the play last year at Jenny Hammond primary school in Leytonstone, east London, even though all his classmates were taking part.He was also excluded from all other school Christmas activities, the Christmas disco and class photographs.More seriously, the special educational needs tribunal tribunal said, the school had failed to appoint a suitable full-time support worker after receiving funding to do so. A school has apologised to a six year-old boy who was left out of the Christmas play because he suffered from a condition similar to autism.

The Telegraph group has a contract to print its newspapers on the West Ferry presses, but Mr Desmond has said that he believes owning the other 50 per cent puts him in a strong bargaining position.. Lazards will send full details of the Telegraph business to all credible bidders in the new year, in an effort to stimulate an auction.A Collins Stewart spokesman said: “This is a real bid. We believe we can outbid other bidders because the stock market is content with smaller returns on investments. But if a vanity publisher comes along and offers an unrealistic amount, there isn’t much we can do about that. Although we will put a management team into the Telegraph, we do not intend to make wholesale changes.”However, a media analyst said: “If it is worth £500m to Collins Stewart, it could be worth more than that to another City bidder.” Collins Stewart has already organised consortium bids for other companies, including the Centre Parcs holiday camp business and Northumbrian Water.As with any other buyer of the Telegraph titles, apart from Mr Desmond, Collins Stewart would have to deal with the fact that the group owns West Ferry Printers in Docklands, London, jointly with Mr Desmond.

Two foreign publishing companies, the US-based Gannett and Germany’s Axel Springer, have also said they would make a bid. Hollinger, which also owns The Chicago Sun-Times and The Jerusalem Post, became caught up in a financial scandal after it was revealed the former chief executive Lord Black of Crossharbour and other directors were given “non-compete” payments totalling $32.5m (£18.5m).Hollinger then hired the investment bank Lazards to explore a possible sale of its assets. So has Richard Desmond, who owns the Express newspaper group. An investigation is expected to take place automatically in the event of an offer from another newspaper group, but Collins Stewart could offer Hollinger greater speed and certainty than potentially higher bids from media companies.Daily Mail and General Trust, owner of the Daily Mail and The Mail on Sunday, has said it is interested in buying the Telegraph.
