  • I'd be calling the likes of IPSEA, ACE, SOS!SEN and your local parent partnership to see whether or not they can do this against your wishes, what the proper process is for moving a child out of a school and what you can do to block it. I would be surprised if the school can without any warning or consultation just decide to move your child elsewhere. I'd be wondering, and perhaps I'm a cynic here, they think a statement or something might be looming and they want no part of it.

    Our experiance is that whilst local authorities know the law and the codes of practise, they are only too happy to flout them under the assumption you either don't know any better or won't fight.

    As a parent you wield a lot of power, it's just that nobody tells you. Good luck!
