I just had to share this...

loulabell

My 10 yr old sons teacher phoned me today (not unusal as she phones every day nearly)

She informed me that they are doing their SATS next week. Jake is off school on the tuesday as he has an appointment with the OT. She said it would be best if he was off all week as it will be an 'unsettling' week for him.

Now i can understand that the change in the routine at school will be difficult and i can also understand that jake does kick off when it comes to writing without help but isnt this something he needs to do??

BUT really...he should stay off all week when it was only a month ago they were having a go at me for his attendance!!

IT MAKES ME LAUGH!! Laughing SO MUCH FOR HIS EDUCATION!! 

Schools choice...Jake goes to school and has an unsettling week but with help he can complete his SATS or just give him the week off so they dont have the added stress of trying to DEAL with him!! ERMM lets go for the latter!! DISGUSTING!!!

  • Also was he already diagnosed when he enrolled in this school? If they accepted him with a diagnosis they have legal obligations.

    The problem is, if they are now putting up barriers ond obstacles in the way of his education you are presented with:

    The cost and inconvenience of making good the shortfall

    The cost and inconvenience of finding another school.

    You may have missed a better education opportunity when you enrolled him at this school, on assurances they could provide the right environment.

    Therefore whether or not you feel inclined to pursue a civil action against the school, the school is liable if you choose to do so. 

    A concise tactful letter styled without prejudice (Citizens Advice Bureau could help phrase this) to the School Governors pointing out they accepted your son and are now not fulfilling the expectations given, may be sufficient action.
