Much has been written about integration, almost invariably focusing on the process ‐ how to maintain and support children, their teachers and parents ‐ once pupils are in the mainstream. The process whereby children are ‘de‐segregated’ has been neglected by comparison. Charles Gibb, educational psychologist, School Psychological Service, Beverley, and Paul Donkersloot, headteacher, Frederick Holmes School, Hull, argue that carefully considered de‐segregation is the cornerstone of successful integration and describe the school's practices.
