Found out the request for 1:1within class had been turned down, the reason is that he has 2x 30mins session with a Special Support Assistant for Speech and Language already.
Turned down for Dyslexia Support as he reads too well, spelling is area of concern (but apparently not for them).
Phoned to School spoke to Senco/Headmistress. She says she will reapply for 1:1 support. I'm going to put a letter in with it this time and so is his class teacher. This time I'm going to include the key phrases given to me by the Ed Psych:-
Not reaching his full potential,
the school is not meeting his needs,
he needs greater support than simply language,
he is being investigated for attention difficulties.
Has complex needs.
Keep at it.

Is this an application for a statement? You are basically asking for what I want and I thought this had to be applied for via the local council with loads of evidence to back it up. They have to pay for the teacher, so it is usually turned down, and that is why we went to Tribunal.
Dear Bugalug,
No, they don't like to issue statements because they cost up to £5000 pounds- apparently. We have to apply for support with lots of evidence, just like an assessment, it comes out of the school budget, but the LEA approve or disapprove it as they supply the SSA. The panel meets every 2 weeks, you can keep reapplying with more and more evidence as the weeks fly past.....
