Katie Price fighting to keep Harvey at college

Katie Price is fighting to keep her son at his residential college in Gloucestershire.

Funding for Harvey, who is autistic, to stay at National Star College, near Cheltenham, could soon be stopped by Katie's local authority.

West Sussex County Council plans to cut the financial support this June. But the TV star has now appealed the decision so her 21-year-old son can stay at the college for another year.

The council has been approached for a comment.

Speaking on The Katie Price Podcast, she said: "Anyone who has got a child with needs or anything like that, you do like EHCP forms, statementing to keep them in or get them to another school.

"So I'm doing that with Harvey because obviously the government, they pay for his schooling.

"So I'm filling that out. We've appealed it. So I'm just sorting all of that out."

The former model had previously told fans that it was a "nightmare" sorting out where Harvey would live.

Harvey, who also has Prader-Willi syndrome, septo-optic dysplasia and a learning disability, has been at the college since 2021.

"With someone like Harvey you need the transitional move, you need to do it slow," she said.

"I'm trying to find somewhere nearer or something for Harvey but three months isn't a long time."

The family filmed his move into the college as part of BBC documentary Katie Price: Harvey and Me.

Candid scenes showed the highs and lows for Harvey as he settled into his accommodation, and living without his mum for the first time in his life.

National Star College did not want to comment on the case.
