Hi all! Am new here - I am a mum to 2 boys - the youngest has severe autism and the eldest is just 9 (August born). The eldest is in year 5 in primary state school. My hubby and I are secondary grammar teachers.We both feel that only a miracle would get our boy thru the 11 plus so for the last two years i have been saving to send him private..however now i am worrying that he won't pass the entrance tests (academically he is in lower half of his year group but he is a very mature and sensible boy -due largely to living with a severely disabled brother) and thinking about asking the schools upon year 7 entrance whether he could retake year 6 within their school (I think private schools are more accomodating of repeating years....am not sure)Does anyone know if the private schools would be agreeable to this if he 'fails' their entrance tests...many many thanks for all help - am losing sleep over this one!
