Can someone help with what this actually means? Ehcp

[Mum2390]

Hi, I have received an ehcp draft for my son and i have just named 2 preference schools for secondary, which his primary school have agreed with me that these would be a good match for his needs (his primary school have helped me every step of the way). I've just had one of the schools come back on the ehcp hub saying they cannot admit my son because 'The child’s attendance at the school would be incompatible with the provision of efficient education of the children with whom the child would be educated or the efficient use of resources' thats all it says. I know this is one of the reasons they can refuse but I don't understand what this actually means, I can't ask his senco or case worker as obviously its the holidays and I know it's going to go round in my head for the next 2 weeks, from what I've seen on Google it says that my child could have a negative impact on the other children, but he's very well behaved, 100% attendance etc so im confused
Thanks

Someone might well be along to correct me, but I've found it means that they've decided that they don't want him, but they are limited by standard responses. Could be that they're full (but they can't actually state that as a reason), could be that your child would take too much of the teacher's time away from the other children, or perhaps he needs to be taught in a different way from the majority of the children they already have.
I had one school say to me that they would have offered a place but they were full. They gave the same reason as you've received to the LA. That was a NAS school.

Schools object on that basis for a range of reasons, from funding to staffing to behaviour to already having lots of pupils with EHCPs...

Although, just because the school has said this when consulted, it doesn’t mean it actually meets the legal threshold which is far higher than LAs and schools let on. Unless the school is wholly independent, the LA can (and must unless they can prove the actual legal threshold) be named even if they object when consulted. Ask for the exact reasons for the incompatibility. It has to be something tangible rather than vague. And the bar is higher than an “adverse effect”, “impact on” or “prejudicial to”.

Email the LA and school now even though it is the holidays.
