Success stories of getting section 41 sen school?

[246810k]

La mat special call said they can meet needs but full. Ds has been offered a trial at section 41 school. Has anyone got one without appealing to tribunal or even if they have have a long wait? Thanks

Being full is not enough of a reason for the LA to refuse to name your preferred school. The LA has to prove the school is so full admitting DS is incompatible with the provision of efficient education for others or the efficient use of resources. The threshold for this is higher than many LAs and schools admit.

A section 41 independent follows the same rules as maintained or academy schools.

Follow up the phone call with an email.

Sorry I don’t understand your question. My post didn’t mention any data, what data do you mean?

@Headfirstintothewild so sorry - I recall replying to a completely different post about London boroughs... very bizarre - must have clicked back into incorrect thread - apologies!
