My ds has 3 x SPLD, the worst of which his processing speed in 4th percentile. Independent EP thinks he should be on SEN register, consensus seems to be at action level, for classroom consideration and extra time in assessments. Looked at COP and suggests must show that attainment gap widening from peers, which I think it is in maths, but not got records of NC levels going back long enough to prove.
Predicted to get 4's in year 6 sats, but in hols did some papers and marked and scored him at a 3 as he only did 2/3 of paper or less, in normal timings. Senco says that he doesn't tick enough boxes for their broad and narrow descriptor tick lists for SPLD to go on SEN's register. Don't know if the tick lists is a local LEA thing or government policy. Senco says that he can access curriculum and isn't 2 years behind. Apparently this two year behind thing is rubbish according to BDA who told me that according to Education Act 1996 and Equality Act 2010 he is disabled and should have his needs met. Want him on the SENS register before he hits secondary as feel that he could go off the rails with a few unfair detentions and misunderstandings in those early weeks. Primary wanting me to just approach secondary and sort it out with them. Trouble is have lost confidence in Secondary as far as SENS goes, due to previous experiences so would rather sort out with Primary, as at least they listen. Sorry for long post, but this is driving me nuts as I just don't get the policy.
