An official from my Department has been in contact with the school referred to by the Deputy. The Principal has confirmed that a pupil with the same name as the pupil in question will be attending the school in September 2011. However, the pupil's date of birth differs from that supplied by the Deputy.

A report provided to the school in support of a request for assistive technology did not suggest that the pupil qualified for Assistive Technology specifically for his own use. The school is satisfied that its existing technology is adequate to meet his needs. Accordingly, the school has not made an application for additional equipment to the school's Special Educational Needs Organiser (SENO). However, if additional relevant supporting documentation is provided, the school will refer the application to the school's SENO for consideration.
