Hi my son goes to secondary school mainstream , has a statement of special education needs . Which he's had from primary . A letter home in his bag this evening about consultation to academy status . Responses to be back by next week . We live out of bough . So his additional funding for his special needs comes from another bough . Although the school in last few weeks have been very good and increased support . As son struggles to keep up especially with written work . He's doing very well now following a very difficult start. Main question is how will this all affect his support . If anyone else has gone though this could you let me know your outcomes. Thanks for any help offered.
