to think it's inappropriate for the TA to try to invite herself to my house?

DS has a school trip coming up. He can't go because it will make him physically unwell (SN). I spoke to the teacher and asked her what she wanted me to do, call him in sick, take him out for the morning etc

TA called back to say she won't be on the trip and he could go into school after the others have left. Could sit in on the Yr3 class and then do some 1:1 work with her. Then she said maybe it's not a good idea because they're the boys who pick on DS, so he could come in a lesson later. I said I was working from home so could bring him in whenever. I asked what would happen at break time as he would be the only one from his class there, and he is often picked on at break time. Oh. Not a good idea, maybe I could bring him in after break. But then she's only there for one lesson. So I suggested he could do something at home with me. He often does his homework next to me whilst I'm working and they know I have workbooks here for him.

She then said that DS often talks about his toys, so maybe it would be a good idea for her to come and see where he plays and what toys he has Hmm
I said no, that wouldn't be convenient since, as I had previously explained, I will be working that morning.

Is it just me or is it totally inappropriate for her to be asking to come and visit our house? She's invited DS to her house before (without asking me) which I also find weird. I just declined and said I didn't think it necessary. We've had issues in the past with the school blaming his SN on our parenting, this has thankfully lessened now that DC2 has started at the school.

well sorry, but i don't think saying 'talking shite' is very bad forum-speak in the greater scheme of things is it? Unless you are very sensitive, in which case it might be best if you avoided internet forums.

DS has also just told me that TA has told him he can stay and do some work with her whilst the others are on the trip angry I've told him this is not the case and she should not have discussed it with him before discussing it with me because we decided it would be better for him not to be alone at break time. I told him it was wrong of her to confuse him and it wasn't his fault.

She needs reporting urgently. Her boundaries are non-existent.

Does the Head work in another school on the other days OP? If so s/he will still be contactable. There will also be someone in charge of safeguarding while they are not in school.

If the HT isn’t in school go straight to a safe guarding officer TenGinBottles
