Whose responsibility to ensure primary child with SN's books are up to date?

Mine? DC's? Teacher's? TA's? Tough luck?

Yr 6, test on a topic next Monday. Brought books home this week, along with a syllabus for the topic. DC hasn't covered, has no worksheets and no notes on the last two points on the syllabus. He has a TA 6 lessons a week, 2 of them in this subject. The teacher is supposed to send home any unfinished class work for him to finish at home. We've had no work sent home for this subject this term, so I assumed all was up to date and there were no issues.

Aside from the teacher telling the children they can "revise if they want to but it's not homework" and therefore DS is refusing to revise because he doesn't want to.... how do I address this? I feel like kicking up a stink because I feel they should be making sure he has covered and finished the work, but I'm not sure they won't turn round and say it's DS's responsibility to finish and make sure he's done all the work.

You need to relax. The fact that he is telling you he hasn't done two things in full is hardly the end of the world. Some kids will have missed some sessions. Some bits might have been done orally but not recorded. There are many reasons why he may not have all the notes you are expecting. There is not even an expectation of any revision. You sound like someone who is looking for something to moan about.

Year 6, so close to sats. I'm surprised they're doing a science test at all. Perhaps he was in an intervention at that time? Just ask the teacher. Slightly poor form if they've not informed you, but it is only a big deal if you make it one.
