For the second time this half term.
It’s year round and they don’t charge me if they cancel the lesson, but they already only assess the DC every 4 weeks so it seems to take ages to move up a stage, and it’s DCs assessment week this week but the lessons cancelled. They cancelled the lesson last time on an assessment week for DC.
So DCs two friends aren’t in the same assessment group but are in the same stage so they’ll be assessed as normal next week or the week after and DC has to wait 4 weeks until the 24th June, DC also missed the assessment 29th April because they cancelled the lesson then too, so by the time they’re assessed it will have been almost 2 months since the last assessment. They don’t assess the kids outside of their assessment week to move up, so no progress will be made on the stage between now and next assessment then they’ll jump 20-30%ish if that makes sense? The lesson is 30 minutes then every 4 weeks it’s 45 minutes as 2-3 children stay back for their assessments. They don’t do any assessments in August though at all. So there’s only 2 assessments left before the end of the school year.
Leisure centre have apologised and we’re on the waiting list for another teacher in the same stage because this never happened in other stages (they cancelled 1 assessment lesson once in Stage 1, and cancelled 1 lesson that wasn’t DCs assessment week in Stage 2). Leisure centre have apologised and said it’s a personal reason for the teacher the last cancellation was due to the teacher being on holiday.
They rang me today, and I said I was considering a complaint as it’s the second assessment lesson in a row cancelled the man on the phone sympathised and said he understood and I wouldn’t be charged.
AIBU? It’s a council pool and the only pool that does the swim England lessons locally, I have looked into others but they all are either more expensive or follow a private assessment criteria. Also DC is in a group with their friends and loves going so don’t want to unsettle them.
