chris54 Report post Posted May 31, 2012 (edited) We had the annual review in December, it has taken the LA untill now to issue the amended statement. Basically it now includes all the things the secondary school have been doing, which bear little resemblance to the original statement, and on the 3rd time of trying have had the hours increased from 10 to 15. The EP and SENCO got together and rewrote the contents of statement which the LA have accepted. I wont bore you with the details. It just good news for a change.

Sally44 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 Is the level of support working then? When you say it bears no resemblance to the original Statement, do you mean he is actually getting more or less? I am glad you've finally got an increase in hours. Is that 15 hours on top of what used to be termed 'delegated funding'? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chris54 Report post Posted June 1, 2012 Yes, the support he is getting in school is working well. When he started in secondary school in September, the school put in place a complete package of support for him according to his needs. The level of support varies across the curriculum. An example of this is that in ICT he needs very little support and often helps other children. In PE he has 1 to 1 support so that he can take part fully and stay safe. To sum up he get more support, but it is also structured differently than was in the original statement. It is all funded under delegated funding, It 5 hours base plus 15. (SA+=5 + 15) The "15hours" is used in the calculations when setting Delegate funding levels for the school. So what has happened is that the school have decided and put in place what support he needs, the rewriting of the statement reflects the support in place. as dose the increase in hours. (Schools delegated funding) He has been getting the extra support from September, now the school will get the funding. There are a few other things in there like the school making provision for him to use other ways of recoding his work (Other than by hand). Extra time to do work, special arrangement for exams etc. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
