Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostDon't worry, that hadn't not occurred to me. The other issue, I can't sit in a car either. My leg cramps in about 5 minutes. Walking is OK, but it's too far.
Guess you might be OK if they had standing desks that are adjustable.
If so, do you know a man with a van and a mattress

Originally posted by BrilloPad View PostIndeed. It happened to my elder son. The school blamed us for everything. Until we went through the system(about 2 years!) and got him statemented.
We got revenge by helping to get their ofsted rating down a notch. I bet the school still have not learned.
Of course, there are plenty of schools that are brilliant. The councils often push to get the kids off the statements to save money.
They probably won't learn. If they don't have the funding or requirements to invest in it then it probably won't make much difference. If it they do and focus better on it it has to be a good thing for the kids so a fair move.
I haven't a clue what's involved in changing schools but might be worth having a look around and asking the right questions?'CUK forum personality of 2011 - Winner - Yes really!!!!Comment

If anything the school she is at is focussing on it having a pretty poor track record historically. I do know that some schools that don't have many kids in this bracket have part time or shared duty senco's and it lets them down. Dunno what your options with regard to changing schools are but if you can find one with a full time Senco that is heavily investing in it he should be much better cared for. Sadly the schools that are doing this tend to be pretty low on the rankings already and have a big need for it. Bit of inverse thinking that these schools are probably actually better for him than a top notch school that doesn't need to cater for him and don't have the funding.

Seems when he goes into class, he shuts down completely. It's like having a breakdown every day. We took him out early today and he's been the most engaged child ever, perfect. Completely different to the child earlier in the day without all the extra stress.
In fact, it seems that any kind of stress he freaks out. Think I may ask Suity for a DNA test as well, something not right here.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Hope all goes well with your kid as well, not easy to deal with an unhappy offspring. Fingers crossed it will snow soon, at least you'll be able to take the little sod sledging.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment

Originally posted by MarillionFan View PostLove the whole statementing thing. The head teacher said when we asked he may need 1 on 1 help for sometime that there were no funds available even if we get a statement. Ok fine says I, 'If it's money I'll pay how much do you want?'. 'Ah. Was the reply, I don't think we can take private funds, ermm, ermm'.

My little brother hated private school, he then went non-private and got just a 2:1 in Law (lazy little tulipe)
When I say hated, I mean really hated, so was behaving very badly.The Chunt of Chunts.Comment

Obviously, his Dads down fall from the young millionaire buck, guzzling Champagne, expecting and riding first class, huge share options, corporate appreciation for all his pole choking skills, to a complete invalid who cannot get to a BOS contract, out of the area, is bound to be quite disconcerting.
