Gail was so moved by the letter to Ben decided to share the letter on social media which has since been shared more than 2,000 times.
She said: “Ben’s made me so proud and I thought it was really important to share something this nice with other people.
“I think more schools should recognize the arts and music alongside maths and English.
“There’s definitely more to a child than just answering exam questions and these qualities should be recognized more.
“Since sharing it I’ve had an amazing response. The internet can be such a cruel place so it’s great to know that this has made someone’s day.”
Jane Grecic, the headteacher at Lansbury Bridge School and Sports College, said: “As a special school, we usually only have a very small number of pupils who are able to take their SATs.
“Ben was our only entry this year and in the run-up to the tests, he worked extremely hard supported throughout by everyone in his class team, Ruth Clarkson, and his family.
“The letter Ruth sent him is similar to one she sent last year to another pupil but obviously this one was personalized for Ben outlining his key strengths and interests.
“Ruth sent it for no reason other than to reassure Ben that he is a wonderfully talented young man regardless of the outcome of the tests.
“All of our pupils are very special, unique individuals whose qualities aren’t always measurable through standard testing. We are still, however, in a position to be able to celebrate their individuality and achievements of which there are many.”
