Hi - this is my first post on mumsnet and I need advice! I have just received a letter from my 14 year olds school to say that following tests in 2015 and 2016, he qualifies for exam access arrangements and will get 25% more time for all exams and a laptop.
My issue is that at no point in his entire schooling has anyone ever suggested that he might have some form of Sen. We also didn't know from school that he had been tested. He is bright and in top sets but not achieving his targets. He has always been disengaged from school, and often doesn't bother with homework. School have had us in several times over the years but only re discussing how to motivate him, never about him having any needs. I'm feeling pretty upset and for once so is he. He's asked why does school think there's something wrong with me? Can anyone shed some light?
