education

hello , i hope someone who finds this message and advise me as to what to do . my 15 year old son returned to school after the summer term and found he had lost all his additional support due to lack of £££ , no one actually discussed this with me and it was only after the first week back , he himself told me . ive had a couple of meetings with the school , who are aware hes now struggling in all subjects , ive given it a few months but its not getting any easier for him , hes had support all through out school and until now has done so well , obviously the school has other children in the school who require the support and im really stuck now , i feel if i dont adocate and fight for him , id be letting him down , his support base teacher who over sees the support said it was due to cuts and that it was a shame , he was staying at school till the end of his 6th year but im not sure whether to take him out of school as i dont want him suffering due to money cuts, please can someone advise  many thanks

  • hi - find this quite amazing.  Did no-one write to you or anything about him losing all his support?  It's important to pursue this to try + get his funding reinstated so please check out the nas site + also the ipsea site for advice.  I'd also contact the Director of Children + Families dept + also the Chairperson of that committee who will be a councillor.  Write to them c/o your town hall.   Check out your council's website for info.  Write to your MP or ring for an appt.  Others will be much more knowledgeable than me but I can't believe those involved in doing this have followed correct procedures.  What an awful shock for your son + you.  I wd appeal the decision.  bw
