Awful experience. We were regularly lied to. Communication was poor.
On a meeting with the leader we were made to feel as though we were criminals for asking for a special school for my child. My child’s Ehcp was issued in December saying they needed one to one but the school immediately said they couldn’t give this. My child couldn’t access the school as there was no one to one care. They were home for 6 months with no schooling. The sen leader told me this was acceptable as he had a place in mainstream school. He also told me “I will
Categorically never change my mind about your child attending specialist provision.” But then strangely overnight he suddenly did. We have never been given an honest answer about why this is but I suspect it is because we initiated an appeal via tribunal.
Our family were put through an unnecessary amount of trauma, my child lost 6 months of schooling and became depressed. We were spoken to in such an uncaring and unkind manor, as if we were just out for money. Which made no sense.
Major improvements are needed and changes in attitudes. I am so sad to o think that parents will still be experiencing these same people.
