post 16 education

Hi all i have joined this group today.

We are currently sorting out my sons EHCP. He is 15 years old and is autistic with speech & language issues. He is currently at a mainstream school and has 25 hours of one to one support. He will not attain the grades he needs to get into a sixth form.

We have found a couple of college courses for him for next year but they are only 15 hours per week. So he will have two days where he is not in college. I am not happy with this and feel that he needs support across five days a week. I have read somewhere today that potentially he could be homeschooled on those two days. 

Has anyone had any experiences with regard to this scenario?

I would really appreciate any feedback.

Many thanks Bal
