My little boy is due to start school on Monday and I'm absolutely heartbroken. He failed to get in to any of our 3 choices of schools and were bascally told you can have 1 of another 3 schools - which are horrendous! We've had no option but to accept one of them (that is not suitable). This milestone in my little boys life has been destroyed because of Bradford Council. The 1st day at school is supposed to be an exciting and enjoyable day and my little boy doesn't want to go - because none of his friends are going and I don't want him to go because the school has such a bad reputation. When visiting the school a boy around 7 or 8 told his friends to go smack that boy in the purple top (my son). Fantastic! He's not started yet and he was being bullied! I have left it until last minute to buy his school uniform in the hope he received a place at another school to find that the school have failed to give me a list of the school uniform in the pack (the pack I had to ask for because they forgot to give my son one at an appointment they failed to tell me had been changed and I was late to because of this) so I haven't a clue what he needs. I've had to buy what I think and hope it is right. I'm absolutely dreading monday. I just feel everything is against us :(
