No. The term “a” school should be read as “any”, so that it must be shown it would be inappropriate for the provision to be made in “any school or post-16 institution”: Derbyshire CC v EM and DM [2019] UKUT 240 (AAC) #18, NN v Cheshire East Council (SEN) [2021] UKUT 220 (AAC) #28. CFA2014 s61 provides a presumption in favour of school based provision in general, not merely a presumption relating to a particular school.
