Hello all I'm new here and been directed this way from another site for help .
I've had the letter today that my son has not gotten a place at the secondary school that we have his older sister in .
I'll give you some background .
Dd is 13 and goes to a catholic school ( is none catholic as of yet we need to do a 12 week intro )
Ds is also waiting to do the 12 week Intro .
We had co serves over ds behaviour some years ago and after being referred to hospital for a specialist it was decided he had ADHD , at the time they suggested meds but with a house move and school change I asked if we could settle him and I'll have a chat to the new school about this .
After moving and changes at home and support from the school he has become much more settled so we decided that the best option was to carry on like this .
Now the fact his sister is at one school and him at another will cause a lot of unsettled behaviour and competition . I can only see this as a bad thing and no good can come from it .
I stupidley thought he would be given a place with his sister on the grounds they are siblings :(
I've no idea what I can do and am quite upset I don't even have the heart to tell them .any advice welcome .
Just to add I also have 17 month old twins that have not slept at all and are quite boisterous it's the reason we have not yet got to do the 12 week course and another reason he's not got an automatic place .
