Have a ds with SN and a dd who does not. I recently moved both dc to a new school as there was an ASD unit for my ds there. It has not worked. He was distressed and unmanageable there and the methods used for dealing with him were questionable. I don't want to go into any further detail than that.
I have withdrawn him and to be quite honest I want to withdraw dd too, just have no faith in this school now and actually feel quite sick when I go to pick dd up and when I drop her off. She has only been there two weeks, she is in Reception. She was very unhappy the first week and is still crying at drop off though does seem to be settling a little. When asked she says she wants to go back to her old school. This is not really an option as her place has been given away now. The new school that I have no faith in is also miles away from where we live. Basically if I pull her out she will not be in school for a couple of weeks while a new place is found. However the new school will most likely be very close to home and in our community so I think she and I will both feel much happier with that. In hind sight it was a complete mistake to move her and I regret it wholeheartedly but now I need to clear up the mess and do the best for her.
