Ds is currently in Year 6 at a private school & is due to move into year 7 in September.
He has had some difficulties so we have considered moving him back to the state sector. We & the school suspect as ASD (dd has one) but we can't afford to pay privately for a diagnoses & the NHS refuse to refer him as he isn't severe enough (funding).
We made a late application to a local secondary school in a neighbouring authority knowing it was full but asking to go on the waiting list. That way if things didn't work out at least we would be on the waiting list for a place as soon as one came up.
Today his current school had a call from a completely different (failing) secondary school in our authority saying that he was going to be starting there in September. Ds would hate to go there especially as its a faith school & he's a bit fixated with the issue of religion in education & atheism for a start.
Surely they should have contacted us to at least offer us a place & wait for us to accept or decline before contacting his current school.
I've had no contact at all from the LA. It all seems a bit odd.
