My daughter is 4 and due to start school in September this year, at the moment she has no school named in her EHCP it just says
"Ivy attends a private day nursery"
in section I, there's no school named for September. Quick run down, her EHCP states mainstream but I know it's not suitable and 5 mainstream schools have been consulted including the one she was allocated during normal school placements and they've all said no.
we named a specialist provision within a mainstream school who have said yes but the local authority won't place her there because her EHCP says mainstream.
that issue has gone back to panel today to hopefully be changed 🤞🏻 but I haven't yet heard the outcome of that.
my question is if the issue isn't resolved by the time the schools break up again in July what happens? We've got 7 weeks to negotiate her a place otherwise no more schools can be consulted because no one will be there?
she's running the risk of missing transfer day, and the opportunity to meet her teachers before she starts, I can't buy uniform yet and what not, she needs the opportunity to ease into this next step as she's quite severely autistic and I fear without this transition period she's going to meltdown.
has anyone been in a similar position and can shed light?
