Removing from special school?

[Loopyloooooo]

I'm considering home educating my daughter who is 7, in year two at a special school. Complex needs, learning disabilities. Has input from lots of NHS services etc etc.

Now without going into the "why's" of why I'm considering this and also we still have lots of thinking to do about the impact on the services she sees at school etc. We very aware of all of that.

I know if you have a child in mainstream you don't need to ask for permission to remove your child. My understanding is that if they're in a special school you have to ask for permission.

In reality has anyone done this and been told "no' by the LA? What happens in that circumstance? How much hassle do they give you?

Or has anyone removed from a special school and the LA have just agreed no problems?

Main stream with units ?

Dd has EOTAS now she has left her independent specialist school. Have you looked if there is an independent specialist school that could meet needs as that might be an option? Her package is about £80k, probably the biggest gain is that she now gets more SALT and OT input than she got from the on site SALTs and OTs at her school.
