Hi.
We have taken our eight year old out of mainstream school after a turbulent two years. We have removed him for two reasons. He has underlying immune problems and recurrent ear infections and glue ear leading to behaviour problems in school. Also he is statemented and has speech and language and communication problems and conductive hearing loss. The education system has vastly underestimated his true capabilities and have babysat rather than taught him.
The attendance improvement officer came yesterday. She was very nice. She said that i would have to provide evidence in about 6 weeks of what i am doing with him and that i will have to do this again in the future. Can anyone tell me do all authorities work like this? I didnt think this was the law.
Also i am looking to make contacts for socialising. We are in Harpenden, Herts but can get to Bedfordshire, Bucks and some of north london reasonably easily.
Any advice re providing evidence for the LA would also be greatly appreciated.
Sam.
