Where possible the LEA likes to educate children in mainstream
schools. If your child has a statement you have a right to state
a preference for either a mainstream school with additional support,
a day special school or a specialist class or base attached to a mainstream
school.
It is important that you note the difference between expressing
a preference for a school and choosing a school. The LEA may not
agree with your preference, however you have the right to appeal
against their decision.
Transport for your child may be arranged if the school named in
part 4 of the statement is a special school, class or base and is
some distance from your home.
If your child’s special educational needs cannot be met in
a school in Ealing, provision outside the borough will be considered.
Have a look at this website for advice on choosing the right school for your child.
