Without going into a the full history which will take several paragraphs. How much access to Consultant clinic letters, the Consultant's themselves or other medical professionals (think MH support) are school entitled to?

But this is a private school, that has been happy to take a significant amount of money. They have access to far more resources than state schools, which are expected to accommodate for illness.

they are wanting to exclude us from conversations with medics

What do you mean here exactly? The medics (psychologists? Psychiatrist?) are coming into school to see your child and school want to speak to them? Are there meetings you are invited to but the school aren’t telling you about?

the LA is responsible for educating a child who is unable to attend school due to medical reasons, not the school. A school can choose to sort provision for themselves, but otherwise the responsibility of the LA to provide education kicks in after a set number of days (either 10 or 15).

The school here have gone above and beyond what most would do. My guess is they could stop the online provision at any point they wanted and there’s not much the OP could do to stop it.
