Wwyd re school?

[BrodieBear]

My head is really spinning I’ve this and all I want to do is burst into tears.

I have 12 year old twins who started year 7 in September, yesterday I had a call from one of ds2 teachers who has said she thinks he may have dyslexia and has asked if she can refer him for testing along with testing for possible ADHD.

I kind of knew it was coming as i have been noticing so many little small things for a long time.
In our conversation the teacher recommended maybe getting a tutor if I can and possibly looking at smaller schools so he may be able to get the extra help he needs.
The issue I have is do I change them both?
Ds 1 is getting on brilliantly and I’m sure will do well wherever he is, my mind is going into overdrive and I feel like I have chosen the wrong school for both of them.

So wwyd?

This approach makes me so cross!!
The school have encountered some barriers for your child so instead of meeting with you to begin to support these they suggest another school.
No a smaller school won't be able to give more support. The only one who benefits from this arrangement is the school who no doubt boast top results at GCSE level.
Make the applications for external support and a possible diagnosis then push this school hard on how they intend to support ds.
Get hold of a copy of the SEN code of practice 2015. Read what the school's website says about SEN then quote these back to them.
It's awful that this type of thing still happens.
