lea school choice process

[english1]

please does anyone know how the process goes.

Ii have just sent our preferred school choice DC to the lea. they have copied 2 letters to us which they have sent to two schools - one - our preffered and the other to the closest to us. how long before we hear again - will this be in feb 2010. any ideas anyone please.

hi they usually give the schools two weeks to come back to them and then they will write to you with what they are going to put on the statment or they will just send through the statement with it on usually four weeks from the date you had to send your choice of school form back make sure you are ready to go with sendist appeal( which you can download from thier site) just in case you are not happy.you will have 2months in which you can put in an appeal

well, i have sent LEA our preferred school choice but did not mention (omitted in error) that my DC will be sitting a selective test for grammar school.
The problem, i have is that the preferred school choice has dedicated SEN unit that will suit my DC and the selective grammar do not have a unit but can provide care. However the nearest school the LEA has suggested prior - we dont want our DC to go there can provide care.
Now how can i prove to LEA that our prefered is all or nothing, if i am considering entry into a grammar school without the SEN unit. as the level of SEN provided by the grammar is the same as the closest school.

Or do i wait until i am sure that my DC passes the selective then say to the LEA that he sat this as well - wont it be too late for LEA consultation - the grammar school is in a different borough. - feb 2011
