Any advice or sharing of experience would be appreciated. We have been able to procure an EHCP for our DC. The EHCP is currently in draft form. We were asked by the LA if we had a preference with respect to schools. We picked the school for our DS. The school has come back now stating that they cannot accommodate our DS (without even meeting DS). The grounds provided in our opinion are not justified and we are considering appealing/contesting their rejection. Basically it looks like they don't want a student with an EHCP. We believe we can easily contest their grounds for rejection.
Can anyone advice on their experience in forcing the LA to proceed with naming a school despite the school's objections? Does the LA just accept the school's rejection?
There is no shortage of schools in our vicinity, however all are over-subscribed. We are concerned that if this school is not accepting our DC on such frivolous grounds, then arguabley all these schools will refuse him for one reason or another just to avoid a child with an EHCP. So the question remains how far can we go with our insistence to have our choice of school named.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
