DD is in yr 5, so thinking about secondaries.
We are in a London borough, so schools are heavily oversubscribed. We live about 800m from a very good school, but admissions last year were about a 600m radius.
As usual, schools have the "special educational needs" category which comes above home to school distance.
So, my question is, can I use the "Sen" category to increase chances of a place?
She is elite tracked for sport, trains 18+ a week. She needs to be at a school either near home or near her training facility (which is out because of home-school distance), plus she needs a school which is supportive of absence for competition etc.
Without being statemented or the like how do I get "official" documents to support her case? Should I speak to her current primary? Head, class teacher or senco?
Anyone any experience? Thanks.
