We live just inside the catchment for School A. School A is a languages specialist school. Dd doesn't like languages and won't speak in class very much. School A has a very prescriptive uniform that has to have logo on every item.
School B is our next nearest school. It specialises in all dd's strengths. Their uniform is more generic. We are slightly out of catchment.
Dd has HF ASD, SPD and anxiety.
Last year nobody was admitted out of catchment to school B. This is a change to previous years.
School B have a great SEN provision. Dd wants to go to school B. She will not agree to any other school (not even private which we have grandparents offering finance) suggesting only Home Ed as a solution. We can't move into catchment due to change in circumstanes (long story).
School A's SENCO has not been available to meet with.
We do not have an EHCP and 'all schools can cope with autism' apparently. I need to get her considered under medical grounds I think.
Has anyone ever managed this for ASD related problems? I will appeal obviously if we don't get in.
Or indeed any other suggestions?!
