what would be classed as a "reasonable adjustment?" for a ms to make?

[Lesley25]

Our MS says that they haven't got space for a quiet area for ds to have 1:1 as the school is quite a small village school (total 179 children) and bursting at the seams for space..

Also our 32.5 hr statement (pending tribunal) states SPLT twice a week working with the TA to implement language strategies throughout the day (already happens we just pay privately for this at the moment).

OT - weekly OT to show TA sensory strategies to help dc cope (doesnt happen at the moment as HT vetoed it).

Does this all sound like a "reasonable adjustment for a mainstream school to make? or a counter argument for a ss?

It isn't really an issue of reasonable adjustments, is it? If it's in the statement they have to provide it. I'd be surprised if they haven't got space of some sort - it can't be the first time they've had a pupil who needed some 1:1.

find a different mainstream school. it is usually possible to find space if you try what do you mean by splt? (Speech and language therapy usually known as SALT, but SPLT is a new one on me)
Do they not have any SN children whatsoever? Because most (well all, imho) schools have children who need space and quiet at some time or other. Don't they have a library???

We visited a school which actually didn't have space anywhere near the reception class. There was library etc but it was far away and not practical. The school said 1:1 would have to be done in the cloakroom. We rejected the school on that basis.

The SLT and OT must be done if in the statement

I think it depends on the school wanting to find space in most cases. Dd has a work space outside the classroom in the corridor. It is well set up and the is storage and a little board etc. it is designated for her and t works well. Before that she had space in the library which also worked well. If the school can't or won't accommodate what is in the statement look for somewhere that will.

Sorry, SALT i meant- i thought splt was a speech and language therapist.

In hindsight i wish i had looked at a "more friendly" sen school.

We live in a village so i might start looking at the surrounding ms village schools. I'm just so peeved i have to do this. When i came to the school almost 2 and a half years ago when my child was diagnosed at 3 - they were very accomodating. i pulled him out of a great nursery to gain experience in that preschool/school environment so school wouldn't be daunting with his TA and he had plenty of time to get used to her before school started in sept 2013 (its located on the same foor).

Now in reception - he's happy and loves it. But this "attitude" from the ht and at every subsequent review is getting me down. It's going to upset him terribly and i feel like the hard work will start again - getting used to a new environment , new ta, moving private speech therapist there etc etc.

To be honest after reading the ss thread i'm starting to wonder if it would be a better option to go straight there. The only thing i keep coming back to is that ss don't necessarily have 1-1 support and i'm worried he would "drift" even in a group of 3.
Thanks for all your advice.

Lesley my dd is a chronic drifter and she is at a sp sch I spoke to the staff before she started and they agreed to involve her in purposeful activity if she starts drifting
