My eldest child has a learning disability, they also attend an independent school funded by a bursary. Therefore we are not well off but we cannot access the additional time required for public examinations (GCSEs and 'A' levels) as to do that an Educational Psychologist report is required.
If we were in a state school we would have free access to an Ed Psych but because we are in an independent school we have to pay at least 475 to obtain the report. No report no extra time - not the independent's rules but the state's rules.
Therefore we cannot access the additional time or other allowances available, thus putting my child at a disadvantage.

AIBU?
To think if your dc attends an independent school its unfair that they cannot access other state services?
