My six year old son is bright and happy and top of his (below average) class. His educational needs are not being met by the school. They are leaving him to coast, I suspect because he has already attained/ exceeded the levels required for the end of year SATS.
The school is hopeless in nearly every way, but I want to give it a go before making any drastic decisions. I wondered if I should take him to an educational psychologist as, if his IQ is above average, it might spur the school into paying more than lip service to adequate differentiation.
I have the following questions:
- What are the pros and cons of doing an IQ test?
- Has an IQ test made any difference to the way the school deals with your child, and, finally...
- Where do I find a good educational psychologist?
