We have been given an appeal date of 10 days time. As we only decided to appeal a couple of days ago, I don't feel I have got my head round the process.
Our reasons for appeal are social and based on DS1s Developmental Coordination Disorder meaning he will find the transition harder than other children. His friends all have a place at our chosen school and DS is struggling to accept going to a different school.
He has been having help with transition to secondary school with an Occupational Therapist - (organisation, finding his way around etc.). She has agreed to support his appeal as he finds school hard, and being at a school he wants to go to will help.
The O.T. referral came from the school re. concerns about his ability to transfer to secondary.
I just want him to be happy and the idea of going to a school without his friends is making him anxious and unhappy.
I think having a supportive (they are) network of friends will help him settle.
So should I just say the above with letter from O.T. or do I need to talk 'prejudicial' stuff that I don't really understand?
The school is oversubscribed with a waiting list which DS is on.
