Proud Lewis Sherwood, of Staffordshire, said: "I'm excited. I want to ask for her autograph."

His parents Andy and Zoe Sherwood won a ground-breaking ruling 18 months ago when they took his school to court after Lewis was excluded from a residential trip because of his condition.

A tribunal judge found in the family's favour and criticised Havergal CofE Primary in Shareshill and its governors for discriminating against the youngster, who was eight at the time.

As a result the Children and Families Act was amended to ensure no other children were forced to go through the courts to get proper support from their school.
