Hello
I have requested that my son, who is currently in year 5, is held back a year. We adopted him 5 years ago and in hind sight we should have put him into the year below straight away. Whilst he had suffered in his early years he is also an August baby so is the youngest in his class. He has struggled from day one academically and is way below average. Emotionally and socially he is immature and finds it easier to make friends with children around 5 and 6 years old. The school is going to assess him and then we will meet with the SENco. I just wondered if anyone had held their child back for a year and what their views were on this?
Thanks
