Hi we have recently won a tribunal against our local authority.
they wanted to name a mainstream high school but we pushed for a special school.
My child is in no way capable to go to a mainstream school. The Judge sided with us and we won and the special school is now named in our EHCP.

The school is almost 8 miles away as the crow flies or 15 miles driving.
can the LA refuse transport considering the court ordered the school setting?

The LA cannot refuse transport on the basis the placement was named via appeal.
