DS (8) was in a mainstream primary who suggested a move and he moved to a smaller primary who then permanently excluded him. He's currently in a PRU.
We asked the HT of the PRU what schools might suit him and also asked other parents. We chose 4 or 5 and the HT suggested 3 from them that it would be worth looking at.
One of them has asked "why isn't he having a managed move" (I'm not even really sure what this constitutes) and "why isn't he on the integration list". Can someone explain these terms to me...
One of them had a lovely chat with me and asked permission to talk to the HT of the PRU (previously, we'd run a school which had rung his school without permission).
One said "we are full in that year" but to talk to Pupil Access. He has an EHCP which they know and most schools are full in his year so we doubt we'll be able to find a suitable school where we don't have to ask for him to be added over numbers. I'm not sure if they thought we had fixed on their school (without seeing it) and we needed to go and get the school named sight unseen OR if they thought we should get permission from Pupil Access to look round? Would this be a thing?
And finally one of the schools may, according to someone or other, be getting a hub? Is this like a new version of a specialist unit? They seem to have closed a lot of specialist units in our LEA, we gather they are starting them up again? Or only for SEMH? Perhaps this is local, though.
(The first two are doing socially distanced tours for us which we are very relieved about as he was excluded in January and was supposed to be making a move now!)
