Academies and statements

[pinknpurple]

Can the LA name an academy in the sm if the parents don't want it? I know that if it is named by the parent and the academy refuses the LA can't force the issue but does it work the other way round?

[Veritate]

Yes, the LA can name an academy if the parent doesn't want it.

There's some useful stuff about academies, including special needs, on David Wolfe's website, davidwolfe.org.uk/wordpress/
