Ds has SN in a few areas, he is in Y5 and on School Action Plus. Some of his Special Needs are physical ones (hypermobility, coordination problems) and consequently he finds sports very hard and hates PE. His catchment school has Sports Academy status and I dont want him to go there. There is another school, over-subscribed and out of catchment, which will cater for his SN (he has learning difficulties too). Appeals for a place at this school arent often successful. Will ds' SN help us win an appeal?

That's not necessarily correct. SN can be taken into account during school appeals and may lead to a successful appeal. It would need to be backed up with professional evidence. If the OP is still relevant, I would advise posting on the Secondary Education section. But the OP is a few months old now so I'm not sure why AnxiousLand decided to respond at this stage.
