My dd is beginning prep for mock exams (end of year 10/11). I'm adamant she has in place correct, well advised support for her dyslexia, which has been assessed as moderately severe. A reader and a scribe was recommended for all tests and where possible in class, in reality it's rare for class work but we accept that at least she will gain some practice for writing etc, albeit she is very slow and at times difficult to understand.
I've spoken to year head who said she would try her best to arrange support but not maths at all. However during a support class, SEN told my dd a scribe would want correct spelling anyway, this really worried her. SEN also told my dd another assessment was needed to confirm she would get any help for exams, the last one was 3 years ago. Despite being in contact with me several times this week, they address my dd and not a word to me.
Does anyone know what I need to do and how to find what if anything the school must do, they can be very difficult, under achieving and frankly I'm worried they will tell me yes no problem but on the day be too busy. This has happened for tests, many times.
