Phase Transfer deadline

[Grace]

Hi All,

 

I know the phase transfer deadline for the issue of the Final Statement is Feb 15th, but there are exceptions which I have seen somewhere, but can't find!

 

Looked through COP and Education regulations, but think must be a case of can't see for looking!

 

Can anyone point me in the right direction please?

 

Many thanks

Actually, having really looked for them, I'm now not sure there are any exceptions?

I think you may be right, Grace!! All I can find is Regulation 19(3) - an authority must ensure that the child's statement is amended so that before 15 Feb the statement names the school the child will be attending following the transfer.

 

I believe the idea behind this law is that by finalising the statement by 15 Feb at the latest, it gives you time to appeal before the child starts at his/her new school.

 

The exceptions you may be thinking of apply to time limits relating to statutory assessment and producing proposed statements, which don't apply in this case because it's a phase transfer, with its own Reg.

As always, so just trying to anticipate their next move!

 

Thanks very much for the reply - I think I was getting mixed up with time limits for amendments/x
