My son has high functioning autism and started school in September 2012. Shortly after I put his name down in the 'waiting list' for the after school club. The secretary pointed out that due to his 'condition' I should speak to the headteacher if I wanted him in the after school club (3 times a week). Ever since times to times I've been asking her for the place, which she always says something like 'I will have a look because the situation requires special arrangements. Since the beggining of this year I have been waiting for the outcome that never comes.
Today I asked to the secretary if I needed to make an appointment to know her answer. She said that would check with the headteacher so no appointment needed.
I went back later in the day, the secretary then told me that the headteacher's reply was that my son couldn't take part of the after school club because she would have to make the 'special arrangements'.
So the 'waiting list' apparently never existed. The truth was the school had never intented to give him a place because he has autism.
