Son might need to go to a SEN school. Who needs to contact his current school once we get his EHCP?

Hey we applied for main stream school and found out today that he has been accepted , we are waiting for our echp to come through cause they think hopefully he needs to go to our local special education school . Not sure how what we supposed to do wait to contact the main stream school or do they do that ? Any advice ?♀️

Hi I think that this is a combination of work between the Local Authority and the school. I think it might be worth contacting the local authority to explain that you have a place and where - I am sure the school do their own investigations but I think it might be worth you contacting the council so they have had interaction from both sides? You could also copy in the school/their SENCo in to any communication so that they know you are in the loop? I'd see what others say as I don't have direct experience but as a former teacher I think it is always good to speak to the Local Authority and school from your side too to get things doneKatharine McKnight

Apparently we have to accept the place at the mainstream school for now . And the special education school will talk to the headteacher of the school if and when the ECHP come through we have to wait a little longer to find out where my little boy will be going ...
