My son is in public school and is applying to an independent private school. Can the school refuse to accommodate him by not using his FM or deny him admission to the school.

Yes - I beleive the school can refuse to accomodate him because they do not have to abide by the public education laws. Private schools are outside of that jurisdiction and while many try to accomodate a students needs, they are not mandated to do so.
