Please bear with me, this may be long!
DD1 is currently at a school 2.5 miles away, we have managed to secure a place at the school round the corner for DD1 and DD2. They are supposed to start in jan.
Dd1 has Cerebral Palsy, ADHD and learning problems. She has done well at her current school, but we need to move them to the neareer school due to DS1 moving to secondary school in sept and we wouldn't be able to transport Ds1 and the girls to 2 different school in opposite directions.
had a meeting last week with the head of the new school and she was going on about budgets, tables and how she can't take DD1 without more support. She has spent her SEN budget for the year, so wouldn;t be able to provide additional support for DD1.
After lots of thought me and DH decided that the budget wasn't our problem and decided to send her there anyway.
Today the head has phoned me and said was I aware that Dd1 is currently in a class in 19 and that to move her to a class of 31 without support would be madness
She is trying to put pressure on me to refuse the place, i know that!!
