Children with special educational needs who do not have a statement must be educated in mainstream schools unless they are being placed in a special school for the purposes of carrying out a statutory assessment of their special educational needs. Parents of children with statements of special educational needs have the right to express a preference for any maintained school they wish their child to attend and the local education authority must, after consulting the school concerned, name the parents’ preferred school in the statement unless it is unsuitable to the child’s age, ability, aptitude or special educational needs, or the placement would be incompatible with the efficient education of the other children with whom they will be educated or with the efficient use of resources. Unless a parent indicates that they do not want their child to be educated in a mainstream school, for example by asking for a special school, the local authority must ensure that the child is educated in a mainstream school unless that is incompatible with the efficient education of other children and there are no reasonable steps that could be taken to prevent that.
