Sorry me again.
We finally have an appeal date for our son who can't get a space at any local school. In brief, our local independent school closed. We got our DD into our local village school but were refused a space for DS (Year 3) due to their being full. Nothing local has space. The school offered by LEA is miles away. We, in agreement with LEA, have him at home whilst we await the outcome of the appeal for our village school.
Question relates to the hearing/documents. So far we have received nothing from the School (an academy) - no documents/statement etc. I have sent to the appeals service a few emails and letters I have collated in support of our case. But now I'm not sure what to do? Do I kick up a stink and say we haven't had anything from the school and the hearing is in a few days and risk there being a postponement (don't really want to do that as DS is out of school) or get to the hearing, presumably get handed some documents and ask for a brief adjournment? any ideas...I just expected the school to have provided us with something or am I getting this all wrong? Surely we can expect a statement from them about why they can't/won't go to 31 in the the class otherwise we don't know what questions to prepare! obviously I have had conversations with the LEA who tried to negotiate him a place (reasons cited were space and difficult class) but we haven't had anything formally in writing about it!
Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
