This petition is forged from a heartfelt plea by Lisa, Mia's mother. Back in November/December 2023, during Mia's EHCP transition review, it was mutually agreed that Riverside and Kingsmill would be named on her EHCP. However, despite this agreement, Mia did not receive a school place when allocations were made. This inexplicable situation has left the family in distress.

Despite reaching out to her SENCO and EHC0 to seek assistance and assurance, no substantial progress has been made. Lisa was simply told that provisions were being looked at but with no substantial updates. The desperation and heartbreak felt by Lisa in the wake of this development is unbearable, having to watch her daughter being excluded from an appropriate education.

Shockingly, Mia has been placed in a school in Hessle, 20 minutes away from Market Weighton, instead of attending a local school where all her peers are enrolled. This overlooked decision-making not only impacts Mia's emotional balance but affects her long-term educational prospects.

This inexplicable situation requires rectification urgently. It is clear that the decisions initially made in Mia's best interest have not been respected. We ask educational authorities in Market Weighton, York, UK, to aid Mia in accessing her right to a suitable educational environment.

Please sign this petition and give strength to Lisa's plea, thus ensuring Mia receives her rightful place at Riverside or Kingsmill, initially agreed on her EHCP or her local catchment school with her peers. Your signature can potentially reshape Mia's educational journey, influencing her life profoundly. Sign to support justice being served and to affirm that each child's right to education must be upheld.
