Advise needed on statements.

[tellmewhy]

I have posted this in chat and was advised to post over here.
DS2 is in reception class and is 5 the end of july,so he is one of the youngest in class.Not that that should make any differance but just thought i would tell you.
Anyway afew weeks back teacher called me into school to tell me she had now put class into groups.DS is in bottom group and is at the bottom of this group.He has speech and communition delay so to be fair this didn't come as a surprise.
I went to parents evening last night and i brought up statments.I asked the teacher if i she thought i should start sorting this now for DS,because i have been told it can take a long time to sort out.To my surprise she said no,she said they wouldn't do anything till at least year 1.
Is this right or is the teacher trying to put me off?Would it some how reflect on the school if DS was given a statement?
DS has already had to wait till after the easter holiday for his SALT to start at school,because funding wasn't in place.

I've been looking for you. Thought you'd be here as it is the logical place to post, but actually we meant the Special Needs section (not education).

It isn't the wrong place here, but it isn't as active so you'll have less responses.

Sorry for chasing your round the internet - lol, - just trying to help!

Ds 2 statemented in preschool and ds3 in reception so your teacher doesn't know what she is saying. I would send off for the special educational needs code of practice which is 207 pages long but divided into sections which are easy to work through. Its free and talks you through the whole thing stage by stage. Published by Dfes and available from their publication office 0845 6022260
