Hi all Mums and Dads,
My DS starting reception coming September , we were able to get him a place in a very good local school which we are very happy about it.
Just a background - DS is a SN child, he was diagnosed with Autism and we got his SN statement after he got accepted to the school . he was accepted to the school on the distance as any other child.
But due to work commitments we are considering to move to Chesham, Buckinghamshire (we currently live in Hertfordshire), I have been doing lot of traveling for the past few years for work and we feel as a family moving will benefit us to spend more time with the family rather than on the road.
Only issue is DS's school..
Few questions
1.How difficult it is to get a place in a reception class when you move?
2.Do we have a bit of an advantage with his SN statement on this matter?Can we for example say we would like him to get a place in a school we wish which is reasonably near but not the nearest ?
I know SN children has a priority when they take admissions first up for reception classes but is it the same in this case?
3.Anyone from this area has experience from local schools? I found schooling standard is pretty good in Bucks area.any input will be great.
4.What would be the worst case scenario realistically?
Thanks for taking time to read and any help is greatly appreciated.
