To think my son is struggling and the school arent helping?

[Bippitybopityboo]

My son is 5 and seems to be really struggling.
He is losing his break time almost every day because he's not getting his work finished in lessons. His teacher tells me daily that be struggles to concentrate and is quite behind with reading and maths.
But there doesn't seem to be any support to help him. Hes clearly struggling and im not sure what's best to do to help.

I have looked into games etc to help with concentration. I have explained to the school that missing break times may not help as he needs time to blow off steam but this was dismissed as its school policy. My son is definitely not the most sensible child and can get silly and i understand this. I told his teacher today that hes saying he can't see the board and i have booked him an eye test and again this was dismissed as an excuse.

Has anyone been in a similar situation and have advice or AIBU to speak to the head about my concerns?

How sad. He’s only five. I wouldn’t make a five year old miss their break time because they hadn’t finished their work. Cruel.
I am a teacher, by the way.

It's not working though is it!

I had this at my eldest sons school so they decided to get him assessed turns out he does have a learning disability and a physical one all the missing breaks were not helping him he actually has issues which they needed to deal with

Is this school the right for for hom. I'd ask for a meeting with the teacher. If that isn't useful then you go to the head. What kind of support do they have for him? How do they recommend you can help him at home? For instance we read a book every night and do 10 minutes of math a night.

I felt sad reading this, they ate taking out all the fun out of being at school for him and a 5 year old boy being silly is not out of the ordinary.

*right choice for him?

YANBU, it sounds like he could possibly have SEN. My DD was the same at his age, mever completing work set in class, getting distracted, behind in reading etc she has just been diagnosed with Dyspraxia and is awaiting an ADHD assessment. My DD was lucky enough to be in a great school that didn't enforce completing work at that age and to just try your best.
First thing you need to do is the eye test, second talk to a Dr about a SEN referral, third look around for a better school.

I feel really sad for him, he loved Foundation stage obviously it's lots of play and hes struggled with the big change going into year 1. I need to call and speak with the head as his teacher does just dismiss my concernes, i want to be prepared with what to say, hows best to approach this?

I would completely disagree with them making him miss his play times. He's 5! He needs to be outside getting fresh air, letting off steam and making friends.
If he struggling then the school need to look at this and put some help in place. Making him sit and slowly finish work he struggling with, at the cost of his play time, is not addressing the problem and is probably creating new ones.
