I'm in shock and could do with some advice. We soul searched and moved our D's last year when aged 6 & 7 from our local state primary school. It was open plan, a number of disruptive children etc etc. My eldest was really struggling to learn anything and was way behind as she finds it difficult to concentrate. Both past the entrance exam for the Prep of an independent school and started last Sept. All the feed back we have had for eldest has been positive. We are aware she still isn't up to speed - but she hasn't been there two terms yet. This week we were called into see the Headmaster who bluntly told us we should start looking for another school for our daughter as they didn't think she was upto going into year 4. We have always given lots of extra support to her (3/4 hour before school every morning just to try and get her up to speed)- but where is their comittment? Can they do this? Don't Independent schools have to have codes of conduct. We are devistated. We've negotiated we have until the summer to see what can be done but we feel they have already made their mind up. Sorry to go on but v.v. upset.
