DS 1 is starting secondary school next year - and as a child that has been in care we feel reasonably confident that he will get into the school we want for him on current allocation criteria. As well as being a great school his current primary feeds into the school, so all his pals will be there. So far, so good. It will be great for him all around.
He’s been at the same primary since reception but we moved last year so (despite being closer in miles!) we are now out of catchment for the secondary. My question is transport. As part of getting the importance of getting a priority place for the right school for an adopted child is that also backed up by providing transport? LA website and school website seems to think that as it is out of catchment, transport won’t be provided. Does anyone know if that is always the case or is it perhaps considered on a case by case basis?
I hope that makes sense. I can’t quite get my head around that although the school offers a priority place to adopted children that they can’t back that up with transport.
any thoughts welcome!
