Hi - name changing.
we have an 8 year old having behaviour issues at an academic london day school. He is coping very well with the academics but struggling with making friends and showing behaviour issues (eg frustration, getting physical with other boys, not knowing boundaries of personal space). The school has now informed us that one more such act will lead to his eventual permanent exclusion. Having read about his issues, I suspect it may be aspergers so we are planning to go down the diagnosis route.
We also need to start looking for a school that will allow us midyear admission as the exclusion can happen anytime. Can any advise on options available to us - in terms of dealing with the school and also finding another school midyear?
Not sure how many such schools there are which are more open to supporting such children. The ones i have found just seem simply not academic enough.
He has no learning difficulties whatsoever but needs support in the playground. I have seen him on play dates with other boys and he does not display any of the behaviours that seem to only occur at school.
I also wonder whether we should move to a state school and try for the 11+ given (from what i read on mumsnet) that many academic private and grammar schools at that stage are more open to HFA boys.
