refused assessment for statement

I have received a telephone call today from my County Council to let me know that they have refused an assessment of my son for a statement.

 

Basically my son’s school have said that they think he is coping ok as he is “not the worst in the class”.  The County are suggesting to the school that they call in an outside agency to assess why he is not making progress (SATS at the end of year 2 gave in 2A’s and now nearing the end of year 4 he is still at grades 2A).  Once they have those reports we can go back to County to see if they can assess him.

 

We are going to see the SENco once they go back from the Easter break but does anyone have any ideas on what else we can do from here?

  • I now have the letter from the County Council and it seems that in June last year they recommended that the school get reports from The Specific Learning Difficulties Base but they did not.  They have again recommended that the school do this.

    Does anyone know who The Specific Learning Difficulties Baseis and what they do.  Can I contact them direct to ask them to assess Luke?

    Thanks
