Tribunal oversubscribed special school

[Pilaf]

Our only preference for secondary transfer was for a well established experienced ASD school. LEA given us a local ASD school but not experienced with issues we don't find acceptable for our son's education. (appealing part 4 of statement)

Problem is the school we want is very popular and oversubscribed by about 10 places. Anybody got any experience/advice in relation to tribunals for oversubscribed schools? It does say in part 3 of the statement that the provision should be for staff experienced in dealing with children with ASD.
Don't how how much weight this will carry.

Not sure who to bring to tribunal. The statement itself we are happy with, just wondering how much help a solicitor would be to us in this case. Both schools are ASD specific schools.

Does anyone know where to get the full transcript to:
NA v London Borough of Barnet (SEN) [2010] UKUT 180 (AAC)

This case is particulary relevant and I am struggling to find the full transcript (been in contact with IPSEA)

Any advice much appreciated (10 weeks to go till hearing)

You need to post this in SN children as there is much more traffic and experience.

However, if you are appealing part 4 of the statement, presumably you have had a final statement?

In that case, you should get the school you want on parental preference with the only legal basis for refusal being the negative impact of your child attending that school on the other children.

Did you have a statement when you applied?
