Changing school

Shropshire lass

hi, need some advice, our granddaughter is at mainstream school but the school are failing to meet her needs and she spends most of her time outside the classroom as she can't cope. We want to move her to a special school where her needs can be met but the Headteacher says we have to have an Ed Psych report done and it could take up to a year to move her.

Does anyone know if this is correct , we are going round in circles trying to get info and are waiting for people to ring us back.

many thanks

  • We get the same feeling from our school, it is a small village school where everyone knows C , adults and children alike. Her classmates just ignore her behaviour when C is crawling under the desks and wrapping herself up in the curtains.It has now deteriated to the point that C is very rarely in the classroom and just wanders round the building doing her own thing followed around by her T A.

    It has been a hard decision to come to and the guilt I feel about moving her is overwhelming. Her classmates are children she has known since nursery.But after all the whitewash I get from the head ( C has a cousin in the same class and she tells me EVERYTHING that happens ) we feel now is the time to make the move .

    C WILL make new friends and with a bit of luck she might even start to do some learning. At the moment she is working at a year 1 level , nowhere near the year 5 level she should be at. :(
