The wait is over

Posted on: 05/08/2016

Finally, some good news regarding Ava's EHCP... The Local Authority have ruled that Ava will stay at Francis Holland School!!! They have been unable to find a place for her at any other local school (which might have provided better accessibility), so thankfully she will now remain with her friends and have full time 1:1 support from the authority. This is what we have been pushing for since October 2014, so we are all hugely relieved. Ava's friends are incredibly important to her and the motivation she gets from them is a vital part of her recovery and well-being. Thankfully this endorsement from the local authority now means that modifications can be made to our building, in order for Ava to remain included and safe. Now we just need to find a super teaching assistant, as Miss Charlotte has found a new job. Ava is very excited to be joining year 5 in September with her friends and I am delighted that we finally have some certainty about her academic future.
