    Can't answer yes or no.:

    The point was raised but not determined in LC and RC v Hampshire CC [2023] UKUT 281 (AAC) #28-32. It was argued that even where there is a very slow transition to a school setting, the setting should be named in Section I as the child is “on the roll” there; however the Court noted the potential conflict of this argument with NN v Cheshire East Council (SEN) [2021] UKUT 220 (AAC) #43 which considered that “attends” means “to be present at”.
