Cloud - camphill is not private, its a charity funded by the government, people have to get social work to fund them to go there as it is very very expensive, and social work do not much like children going to residential schools, as its cheaper to put them into mainstream education(im sure its not as simple as that), and while this may be of help to some, lots of people with special needs do not cope well, get ridiculed etc etc you'll have heard it all before. The two camphill places situated in bieldisde and milltimber, well enter them and you wouldnt know you're near a city centre at all, theres lots of land, its spacious and beautiful, and your comment about camphill moving into the country, well thats just bloody ridiculous. A guy called Karl Konig started up camphill based on the philosophies by Rudolf steiner over 50 years ago (why dont you google it), in the very place now known as camphill estate, murtle is an addition as it grew, camphill house is a beautiful house, with its own library started by mr konig, harbouring years of history of the place, and by the way Konig and his colleagues, were jews escaping from Austria i do believe, there are camphill places all over the world, INCLUDING ones in further away places. Get a clue before you write such utter shit, please.' Utter selfishness' my ass, what they do there is help people, let the children reach their potential, through arts and crafts as well as an education suitable to their specific needs. You're right, you're not clued up at all.
