Lambs

Whilst there is no typical Breckenbrough pupil he is likely to have some of the following traits:

• He will recognise the importance of education.
• He will want the opportunity to succeed.
• He will have educational potential but is likely to be underachieving.
• He is likely to be eccentric and difficult in his behaviour and certainly unable to fit into mainstream education.
• He will generally be amenable to reason and will not need excessive structure and supervision in his leisure time.
• He will welcome adult concern and support even though he may not always show it.
• He will be likely to prefer adult company and to get on with adults better than with his peers.
• He will be verbally skilled.
• He is likely to have at least one special talent, which can be developed and used to build his self-image.
• He will be likely to have, not far below the surface, a genuine desire to be successful and to make a happier life for himself.
• He will not be determinedly delinquent.
