Refused statement

Hi guys,

wondered if anyone could help. Weve applied for a state,ent based on the school not providing for ours sons needs. He has no iep, we asked for ed psych, nothing. He has seen a physio who told the. He needs to use a screen after a side of a4 they havent done this. We asked for sen code of practise, never anything sent. Apparently he doesnt need help because his behaviours is good in school? We questioned his levels as they are saying he is very high, he went up a whole level in reading in half a term last year? To be frank his reading is awful. I looked up the levels assessment criteria and he was nowhere near that level.

the county council have said he needs no statement as he is making good probress at school. This is exactly what we questioned and gave evidence for. They said that the professionals "school" have said he is fine. (Bangs head) and when i questioned them they didnt respond to the question just moved onto the next. 

Anyone got any idea if ican appeal this decision? Theyve reccomended school action plus? What is this please

  • My daughter's school was really crap they didn't inform me she was on SA+ until I asked, and they have not informed me exactly what support she gets.  All I know is that she is allowed to go to see the assistant year head when she has any concerns, they allowed her to have a "toilet card" to hold up when she needs the toilet so the teacher doesn't make her wait and they offered a temporary measure of allowing her to go immediately to lunch at the head of the queue as she was getting pushed and bullied.  I don't know what the official support is meant to be, in fact I found out today that the school are meant to send the parent a plan (from that link I gave you above) and have requested they send me it.  I don't know if each school does it differently or if it's related to the child's IEP, you would need to ask.  My daughter has also only been there 4 weeks so it's all new to me too as she was home-educated for 3 years beforehand.  I just know the places you can look for the information but I am by no means an expert or anything.
