Hi
I’m hoping for some help from the admissions specialists. My twins are due to start school in 2019. One of my twins is severely speech delayed and may be eligible for a speech unit at a local school. In this case, I would like their twin to attend the mainstream unit in the same school for obvious reasons.
However, we live too far away for the other twin to get in normally and the sibling priority specifically doesn’t apply where the sibling is in the language unit - key wording is:
Note 2: Sibling refers to brother or sister, half brother or sister, adopted brother or sister, step brother or sister, or the child of the parent/carer’s partner, and, in every case, the child should be living in the same family unit at the same address. The elder sibling must still be on roll at the school when the younger child starts school. This sibling ruling does not apply to pupils in our Speech & Language Provision classes. We welcome applications from parents with siblings of children in these classes but would also advise them to apply to their closest school
Does anyone know if the rules would be different for twins?
Thanks for your help x
