Hi girls, this is my first post and I'm basically looking for guidance!
My daughter has been going to the local faith school in Ealing with an outstanding ofstead rating. She started off achieving above expected standard results, however, in Year 2 (the last school year) she didn't pass the SATs assessment. The school head advised us that she had been struggling, although, I've had multiple meetings with the school where they advised she 'was on track' or 'middle of the pack' which I was super happy with. We were meeting because I had to drag my 7 year old to school each morning as she didn't want to go. The school asked if anything had changed at home and did she have a Daddy? Basically making me feel like it was something I was doing, although, I'm guessing this is when she started to have serious problems with the lessons.
At around the same time I tried to get her into the local private girls school who suggest they are non-selective, however, after her 7+ assessment they said she was too far behind and wouldn't have the time or facilities to get her up to speed. (My reason to go private is for the smaller class sizes and one to one attention.)
I then booked a tutor for the summer holidays and an appointment with an Educational Psychologist. He said she was slightly dyslexic with an average IQ. As a result her current school has said she doesn't qualify for any extra help.
So, my problem is I need a non selective private school which is not just academically focused who will take her and help me. The schools in our area are very competitive and focused on league tables etc. Where do I start? Do I move house? I would if that's what it takes to get my happy child back but I don't want to move to the wrong school. It would be great to find one that goes all the way through to 18.
Does anyone know of a school with these requirements near W5 or should I be looking to move? Can anyone help?
