Hi Everyone
I'm a bit lost and would be so grateful for any advice. I have a very dyslexic son who is going into Y6 at a private school. He has a private EP report which details his needs and he qualifies for extra time etc. We moved him at the start of Y4 because of his SEN (from our local primary) and with learning support, he has made amazing progress.
We need to start applying to secondaries and we would like him to go to our 'outstanding' local state secondary for Sept 2019. It has fantastic teaching and SEN provision. A friend's dyslexic DD thrived there.
Unfortunately, although we are in catchment, we are probably going to miss out on a place because it's so oversubscribed (our neighbour's DS missed out this year by 300m!).
However, children with a statement of special needs naming the school are given first priority, so I was hoping this could work in his favour. Will his existing EP report be enough or do I need something from the Local Authority as well? If so, how would I get this arranged if he's at a private school?
Thanks to anyone who could advise me.
