My son has just had an assessment to move school (Year 4) to a local independent and was refused a place. We were rather surprised as his primary tell us he is bright, either reaching expected or exceeding standards. He is mildly dyslexic, but this appears to affect his spelling and writing a bit.
We were thinking of moving him as the cuts have taken their toll. After 7 teachers this year (failure to recruit), his class his having a huge wobble learning wise and socially.
We've tried contacting the independent school where he had his assessment for feedback, but they don't seem to answer the phone or emails. Is it normal? After paying £100, and being hugely responsive pre-assessment, it feels rather dismissive. It'd help us to know why they felt he was the wrong fit when we know they had space, so we can ensure we find a school that's right.
Thank you for any thoughts you may have.
