High Court actions brought by the families of five children with special needs over allegations the youngsters were mentally and physically abused at the primary school they attended have been resolved.

The allegations were made by a now former staff member who alleged the children in the school's special autism unit were pulled and dragged "countless times" by two other staff members, namely another teacher and a special needs assistant (SNA).
