But would it have been straightforward to send Jenkinson back to Culcheth?I agree, usually when a school accepts another student they know exactly why a student has been expelled.
Sometimes however I believe, and this is going back a few years from when I was a school governor so it may have changed now, it was my understanding if a school has spaces the local authority will push that school quite hard to accept the child, however that's usually only if the school has appropriate provision in place. Either way the school and usually some members of the governing body of that school will know. The safeguarding officer would have to have been involved.
In the press reports over the last few days, the Head at Birchwood was supposed to be in the process of doing that because SJ's attendance had dropped to 80%. ( I just didn't get the impression that the LA was involved in the latter)
