Hi,
Our child has been under senco from year 3, as it was discovered she had real difficulties when it came to numeracy. She is behind on reading and writing, but it's numeracy she really struggles with.
There are historical learning difficulties on one side of our family.
She has had 2 Psy Ed Reports done, most recently before lock down this year, it confirms she is only working at KS1 (Year 2 level).
We were told in the past by the senco that although our child was struggling we wouldn't meet EHCP criteria.
We are due to apply for her high school at the end of the month. Unfortunately we live a bit of a distance to a secondary school in the area that we feel would be best for her, which would limit our chances of sending her there. We really wished we had applied for the EHCP last year but was never told we could do it ourselves :(
Looking at info online it states that an application for EHCP can be made if the support a school puts in place doesn't equal 'expected progess' for the child.
Having the EHCP would help us to get her into the secondary school we feel she would do best in.
I do have a feeling that the academy she is in at the moment doesnt want us to apply, but can only imagine it being a funding issue that they would be out of pocket.
Would be interested in any help or advice. Thank you

Child is now in Year 6, but doing Year 2 work. Can I now apply for EHCP?
