DS 5 yo not listening to teachers at school

Dear Mums I really need some advice. My 5 yo is in y1 and his favourite word if any of the teachers asks him to do something is " NO". It got to that point that on the school assembly when all the children were sitting down he refused to do so and stood like a statue. When he spoken to by his teacher he either rolled his eyes at her or kept staring in the distance. He doesn't do that to me but he behaves similar with his dad.
Last year he had some behaviour issues but I worked with his then teacher and he got better but this year is getting worse. I spoke to my GP about it and she said he is just a normal 5 year old who pushes boundaries and I should just wait as he will grow out of it. It's just really hard being stopped by teacher every day when I pick him up because there is again something.
I have a meeting with his teacher and a Special Education teacher in two weeks time at school but maybe I should take him again to GP and ask him for some kind of specialist referal as I am getting pretty worried. Or should I just wait for the meeting and decide it then?

What consequences are the school using, to deal with this behaviour? Loss of golden time etc?

They just sit him on the time out, then he will apologise. But he just doesn't seems to be much bothered about sitting alone.

See what they say at the meeting, and what ideas they might have to work with him on it.

I'd also see if you can get any reasons from him, asking why he doesn't want to do certain things, for school and for his dad. He might not have any of course.

Maybe think if there's anything you're doing that might make a difference, though it could simply be that school are putting out demands he just doesn't want to go along with, or doesn't agree with.
