Help! Do I show school my statutory assessment letter?

[2boysnamedR]

As in it I have said that haven't called in ed phyc and salt and he failed his IEP - all fact but they might get defensive and rip it apart telling lea it's not true. What should I do? It is true

No you don't have to.
LA will write to school asking for info to help it decide whether SA is necessary
The only document which should be shared is your parent report once SA starts

no you dont have to, however school requested a copy of mine from the lea and the lea included it within appendix a of the proposed statement. this was then circulated to EP, SALT, OT, PEAD, school etc.

I have already sent the exact same letter as evidence myself. The school have till three to put there evidence in and have just asked me to write a statement!

Can I just clarify. The school have until this afternoon to write their stuff, and they have just today, asked you to write a statement!?

Yes that's exactly it. I had a meeting with them last week and they ave had the same deadlines as me. What can you do? Senco told me yesterday they are doing everything they can for him. Which is one hour intervention a week. They are pulling out all the stops, no???

It's okay. Everyone told me that Ds didn't need a statement because he was getting everything.

I replied that was exactly why he DID need a statement because 'everything' was having no effect.

And good grief about the school expecting you to just drop everything an hour or so before the deadline and submit a statement.

Did you do it?

I would have been tempted to write that being given 2 hours to explain the complexities of your Ds' needs by the school is evidence of their inability to meet his needs with their current resources, and left it at that if I'd already submitted my stuff.

I had already written a weighty document spelling out his issues and how he was only getting 1 hour intervention a week and had failed targets on his IEP, no one had been called into school so far to assess him etc and had posted this to the lea. Then I sent it the senco. She emailed me a new IEP just after that. I have outed myself now I'm sure if anyone who knows me reads this.

I am worried that 'doing all they can' like writing his evidence up the day before the lea need it is quite frankly a bit shit

'doing everything they can for him'
A standard response which means they're very disorganised or lazy.
Another one I had was ' we acted as quickly as we reasonably could' - after waiting a whole year for them to do something!!!
You've been thorough with your paperwork so why can't they be? It doesn't bode well for if/when you get a statement, does it?

No it doesn't bode well I know. Makes me wonder what piss poor kind of provision I am fighting so hard for...
