State school refusing to admit

Bibby

Hi all, I'm new on here. Was wondering if anyone out there has had any experience with mainstream Academies who have/are refusing to admit child with ASD into y7, even when it is named in part 4 of a finalised SEN? Many thanks

  • Hi Upsy daisy,i have instructed a specialist solicitor with this case as I predicted that the school would be obstructive....which they certainly have been.

    The school have the newer style funding agreement in place, so legally they are committed to admit a child named in part 4, through their funding agreement. If in disagreement we have suggested to them (since August when the statement was finalised) to take the matter to the SOS. We have reminded the head of this school on several occasions to do this but he hasn't. 

    We just have an interesting scenario now as I have the y6 review meeting in a month. It will be mainly to discuss transition arrangements with the school, who are invited. But we think they might not turn up! That's going to be an odd one.

    Have been in touch with Ipsea. They're very interested to see how this one pans out but I'm sure they're been updated about the case as my solicitor is one of their legal advisers. So feel very much in safe hands.
