chickenanne Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 ClaireG: is your child therefore unable to attend school until it's sorted out? That seems insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 No it means the child will have to start at one school and then move to the other. I've seen this happen and the parents were so grateful they didn't even make a fuss about the cost of uniform - the first school (10% GCSE passes!) had a blue blazer and blue shirts and the second school (60%) had black blazer and white shirt. The mum said the cost was a minor thing compared to her son's education (he ended up in my tutor group too - lucky boy!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 ClaireG: is your child therefore unable to attend school until it's sorted out? That seems insane! Yes, he cannnot start untill he has a statement written by the new LEA. It then has to be approved by us and then the school has to see that they can meet his needs. Im that they can (they could meet ones on old statement), i don't know what we will do if they say they can't or how long it will take.

bronze Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Penguinmad Claire/Adam are primary and in a different LEA so I suspect they do things differently. Claire good luck. Adams a good kid and it seems sad to have to keep him off school when he wants to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaireG Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Thanks Bron. I'm trying to keep him busy so he doesn't get too bored. Hopefully we will have the new statement soon and can get things moving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mad house Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 Hi there. Personally I'd see if I could get the girls in the other school. If I were in your position I wouldnt hesitate I know its not the schools fault but it does drive me mad and would never put another child of mine there Thats that off my chest (for now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
