Refusing to go into school

Hi all, 

My son (4) is refusing to go into pre-school at the moment. He keeps telling me he his sad there but wont tell the teacher this. Ive tried to discuss this with his teachers but they tell me they see nothing. They think he is happy and everything is okay.

BUT

If it was okay then it wouldnt have taken me an hour and a half to get him dressed, ending with him being late. 

He has no IEP. NOTHING!

The school isnt being very helpful. 

The SENCO has been to observe him but again saw no issues. 

My son will NOT tell people when he is sad. 

Anyone been through something similar?

Should I get the SENCO involved?

Thanks in advance 

Vicky

    Yes is diagnosed as autistic. 

    Ive been going through loads of information but im getting a bit lost in it all to be honest. Yes his pre-school is joined onto his future primary school. 

    Personally I feel he would benefit from a statement BUT the school just laughed and said dont be stupid because he's higher functioning so they said he would qualify. Especially as they arent providing any help at the moment.
