Does anyone know what rights I have to information/communication from my son's primary school?
Two incidents recently have concerned me.
1 - He's recently been identified as having some special needs. He was put into a special group on a Friday afternoon for improving social skills. But we weren't informed about this.
2- There was an behaviour incident that resulted in several boys including my son going to the headteachers office. A letter was sent home to us briefly explaining what had happened. I've since spoken to the parents of two of the other boys involved. They are disputing the schools version of events and making a complaint. While I think these parents are making a bit of a fuss about nothing, I still wanted to get some more information from the school about what happened so I emailed asking for more information and was totally rebuffed. They said that the incident was closed and they don't need to speak to me about it.
I really don't want to make a fuss and make enemies of people I need to work with on my son's IEP but the outright dismissal of me and any need I might have for information about my own child is making me absolutely furious. Does anyone have any thoughts?
