My son is 7 and is very gifted in all areas. He can read fluently and often reads long, complicated works to himself (Enid Blyton, etc), can do addition and subtraction to 100 and understands complex scientific principles such as how the earth rotates around the Sun and how a food chain works.
However, I have recently discovered that there is a Gifted and Talented 'club' at his school who meet on Wednesday. He is not part of it and I am angry that his talents have been overlooked and that he is not having the fulfilled and rich education which his gifts demand.
I am going to make an appointment to see the headteacher on Monday morning to ask why he is not included and ask that they re-assess his obviously above average needs.
What else can I do to make sure that the school starts providing for him and his complex needs?
