Please can someone help!, my son is due to decide his options by the end of February. He is not very academic and has dyslexia. At a local college they do a day release course in agriculture & gardening which my son would like to do when he leaves school, I have applied for a place for him. I informed the school about the course and asked them if this would be OK. They have just got back to me and said that they won't support it as it will interfere with his other studies. According to his predicted grades he will probably leave school without a relevant qualification, but this course would potentially give him an NVQ. What are my rights as a parent? Can I take him out of school for 1 day a week to attend, or do I need to find him another school. He hasn't been offered a place at college yet (maybe he won't be) if he is offered a place what do I do?...
