My son is doing Higher PE - he has significant fine motor skills difficulties and perception problems, as well as difficulties with organising information. On reflection, it perhaps wasn't the best subject, but he struggles with school and had limited options. He has to do two sports - rugby is his main one, and he thinks he scraped a pass in his recent assessment, after months of training very hard. However, he needs to pass a unit assessment in a second sport- probably basketball -and he's just been told that he probably won't, and therefore won't be allowed to sit the exam. The school are being useless, despite being well aware of his ASN. They've said no allowances for his problems ( which aren't trivial) can be made in this subject. I can't make sense of the SQA's labyrinthine website - I've emailed them, but want to speak to school tomorrow. It's a long shot, but I wondered if anyone had any experience/knowledge of this? It just seems so unfair that a child who through sheer bloody persistence managed to get to the point of doing Highers can be knocked back at this point.
