  • You can email the LEA and ask for a statement to be carried out.  They will then send you all the paper work together will timescales for each stage to be completed by.  I think you are in a strong position because he is transferring to second school soon, so he may well need extra support .

    To be successful you should gather as much professional reports as possible to send to them.

    It is not too late to get a statement.  Mine were slightly older and would not have survived school without it.  

    Also even if you do not succeed, the school can use its discretion and provide additional support.  One of my son's friends doesn't have a statement and is given a quiet place in which to do tests / exams
