  • remembering back to that time - it was suggested ot me that I visit the secondary schools in the catchment area - speak with the SENCO - describe the details / challenges my son faced and asked them a) what they could offer b) could they do that in the exisiting budgets - or would son need a statement (or in his case an amendment to the statement). It became clear they all said they could meet needs - it was like a basic response mechanism, but when we discussed deeper - about how he would manage different classrooms /teachers / rules AND cope with the noise / crowds of 1000 + students - the 'successful' school and I wrote to the Local Autority and informed them more support would be needed. Along the way I learned that it wasn;t always about saying WE WANT THIS --- but X Y Z are not appropriate but A B C are ---- Statements may have changed / new laws etc - so my info maybe out of date. The NAS has a help line - numbers on the webpage. Good luck R
