any school?

[CHARMS1]

Hiya,

I am just beginning the long process of getting my little girl statemented. Her senco at school is 99 per cent confident that it will go through as he says he has never had 1 rejected yet. She only started school in september and was up until that point diagnosed with a speech and labguage disorder. I'm looking at long term prospects for her, and I remember someone saying to me that once she has a statement, she will be accepted into any school. Has anyone else heard this?

Thanks

AFAIK, she will be accepted into the school named on her statement as being suitable, even if there is apparently no space for her. I've heard it can be a battle to get the school you want named, though. Someone with some knowledge and experience will be along shortly, I'm sure, but I didn't want to leave you with no answer

She will only be accepted if the school are able to meet the needs set out in the statement or by making what is known as reasonable adjustments.
