Good morning
My DDs school has contacted me and asked that I arrange for her to be re-assessed ahead of starting their Gcse program.
She was assessed at the beginning of year 6 (so in primary school) - but apparently in order to gain that precious extra time at Gcse level, it is a requirement that a new assessment is undertaken.
Her school have suggested 2 points of contact and asked that we arrange this ASAP. Obviously at 5.30am (first opportunity to catch up on emails) I can't ring around to book this and find out the cost.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation? DD is mildly dyslexic with poor working memory at last assessment - her hand writing is also atrocious and hasn't improved at all tn the last 3 years - she often types up school work a n d is self taught typist.. shes not keen on learning to touch type although it has bedn suggested many times thru school... i thibk it is just the Burdon of another thing to learn iyswim.
Has anyone's DD/DS been reassessed at this pre gcse level to find that they no longer fall within the scope of requiring extra time?
Also roughly what cost am I looking at? I will need yo factor in working extra shifts to pay for this, so need to plan.
TIA
