Hi,
My youngest son is 11 and currently in Year 7. He has lots of medical issues and his school attendance is around the 60% mark. I have spent many years (since Year 2 ) trying get adequate support from his schools to help him keep up whilst he is too poorly to go to school, this has had no success and I am getting beyond frustrated. I am working to have the school apply for an Education, Health and Care Plan for him to try and get him the support he needs - he requires a scribe in lessons as he has serious difficulties writing (dysgraphia but I am increasingly wondering if homeschooling him would be feasible? He was homeschooled for a while during primary school due to serious issues with a previous school and it was successful, however he felt he wanted the contact of other children so I found him a place in a very small and friendly primary school.
How do people manage to secondary school curriculum? I would still like him to work towards GCSEs if possible but I'm not sure I'm up to teaching everything properly!! Are there good resources available? How do others make sure their child has good contact with other children?
