we knew they would do it as it was in the consent order - of course we get the letter on a Saturday.
the letter is really odd as its says we are starting the transfer and asked school to arrange meeting in about 3 weeks time (last week of term)
it twitters about the meeting looking at the statement and what further assessments are needed.
as this meeting is taking place in about week 9 of a 14 week timeline they really have left it far too late for any assessments haven't they or is that plan I wonder.
as you know we have appealed the statement and its stuck at sendist at the moment awaiting a hearing date to be allocated/ this transfer letter goes on to say that I can appeal the statement which is odd as I thought that once they had served notice of transfer onto you you couldn't appeal?
its just a letter - no other paperwork came with it, nothing for me to complete whereas with my son I had lots of forms to complete - this time nothing but the letter.
not sure what to now do about the transfer meeting - no one asked me yet what my availability is - a friend thinks I should now lie low and let the appeal land on the sen officers desk. she thinks I should go nowhere near a transfer meeting but I don't want to seem obstructive at the forthcoming appeal so should I go ? I have a feeling they will bring the senco from the mainstream secondary to the transfer meeting. this is just getting complicated but in reality now I just want to focus on the appeal
there is no way the LA are going to meet the deadline of 1/5 to issue a finalised EHCP and even if they did no way would the appeal be heard before sept hence why ive appealed the statement.
it just feels (again) that the LA have no idea what they are doing but still have a sneaky plan up their sleeve
