refused assessment for statement

Ming

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 know it is harder to get a statement now than it used to be.

    My daughter was at a primary school said she was not a problem. Moved primary schools and they collected 'evidence' and applied for a statement straight away and she got one.

    Some SENCOs are good and some not so good!

    You can also apply for a statement as a parent. My friend did this for her autistic and got a statement

    Also have you spoken to your local parent partnership

    Good Luck
