I was so pleased with ds latest statement. It had everything detailed that he needed and was exactly what I wanted and I honestly thought that would be enough. DS is supposed to have a maximum of 3 TAs working with him. This is written in part 3 of his statement and the school were aware of this and the SENCO indicated to me last term that she was undecided whether he would have 2 or 3 but he would definitely have more than 1. I was quite happy with this.
He has been there one week and according to him he has had 7 people working with him. Now he may be a bit confused as to who is there just for him and who is a general classroom TA but he definitely has at least 4 as three of them have written their names on his timetable and I met a fourth one today
I have rung and asked for his teacher to call me to arrange a meeting to discuss his progress (although she hasn't yet rung me back ) but wanted your advice. I want to approach this carefully as I really want to have a good relationship with the school but I feel pissed off that they appear to be ignoring what is on his statement.
I am right in thinking that part 3 of the statement is the legally binding bit aren't i and that the school must meet all the objectives etc listed in part 3 regardless of how they usually do things? And they can't just pick and choose which bits to do.
I am starting to get really stressed about this. I know its a small thing in one way but I just feel that added to the schools lack of communication last term that it doesn't bode well for how they are going to deal with him in the future.
