DD1 is 13 and attends a Mainstream Autism Base in High School. She does a part time timetable, attending mainstream classes for some subjects, covering the curriculum in the Base for some and has dropped others entirely.
She's brought her school report home today and three teachers whose subjects she has not done at all and who have had no contact with DD1 this school year have given her current levels, personalised comments on her behaviour and skills, target levels and whether she is on track and grades for effort.
We had a similar situation in December when her progress check contained similar works of fiction. I emailed the head of year who phoned me with a list of reasons why this had happened and reassured me that it was a one off caused by staff sickness, and other misc difficulties.
So what would you do? Let it go as they are meeting her needs fairly well at the moment and it's not worth upsetting the applecart, email the head of year again or write a letter to the head, copied to the chair of governors.
The funniest one is the teacher who has given her very good for effort but says she should participate more in class discussions! She'd have a job!
