I have a bit of a dilemma and would appreciate your advice.
I have had an appointment booked for my dd aged 13 with the orthodontist for several weeks now. Today I checked my diary to see what we've got coming up next week and realised that she has her QCA tests starting on Monday morning during the 1st and 2nd lessons.
The dental appt is at 9am Monday morning! Only for an assessment for a brace so is not urgent and I don't mind re-arranging but it could be some weeks or even a couple of months waiting for a new appt. However the dentists does not open until (I think) 8.30am on Monday morning so that would be my first chance to phone to ask for a new appointment. I know I will get charged a late cancellation fee if that's what I decide to do.
The other option would be to phone the school as early as possible, explain the situation to them and hope they allow dd to take the test at another time and keep the dental appt.
Not sure what to do - which is the lesser of the two evils as it were? Any ideas or advice? I would really appreciate it. Thanks
