Need to name a school and there is absolutely nothing in county. Current ms school have admitted they can't meet needs and we don't think any ms can. Looks likely that we will have to name a specialist independent school which will mean a residential placement. Due to very complex needs and the type of disorder (rare) there are very limited schools in the country that we could name.
The preference form we have to sign says that we agree to their guidelines i.e 'if you name a school which is not the nearest school of its kind to where you live then your child will not receive transport even if they qualify on the basis of their special needs. This is because there is a closer school to where you live.'
Does this mean then that whatever school we choose, if it is outside county, then we have to pay? We can't afford to do that so what would happen?
Has anyone else been in this situation.
