Hi, new to mumsnet, but found it when looking for info on Dallington. My DS is having really struggling at school, and for the first time in my life I am considering private school. He's a very sensitive little chap, easily crushed, and dishearterned. early hearing loss and Speech and language issues made his early school years tricky, but thought he ha come out of it. have now discovered has low muscle tone so has trouble finishing written tasks. Pluses are vivid imagination, great reader, and a hard worker, also very compliant in class (sometimes overly so). But stressing now about failing. Just think its not right for a little boy to feel so bad about himself. So, thought take him out of the stressy situation and let him play for a bit. Get some confidence and start enjoying school. School also in special measures after ofsted and a very unhappy place for the staff. Any thoughts?
