I started chatting with a child who has just left ds's current school and moving to secondary school, let's say he's R. I asked him if he was excited to be moving, he said he's disabled (he comes across as SN), and that the school wanted him to do year 5 twice so he would have had to stay there for an extra year so he was lucky. Then he told me that he was happy to get a place at the secondary school as had not done any SATS, R said they were not even mentioned in his report. I asked him why he had not done them, he said he was told that he was not confident.
I do, admittidly,not like this school, I have written a previous thread about bullying that ds has recieved and how the head accused my son of lying and said any bullying was his fault. I am trying to move ds to another school, however, despite a good entrance exam result and a good interview he was not offered a place, possibly due to the reference. Ds is a very bright boy, years ahead of where he should be so will be top level 5 in the SATS this year. He's not learnt alot at the school as he was years ahead before starting there, they have kept all of his maths and english work, which ds says is so they can put them onto a display.
None of this sits easy with me, the more I discover, the more concerned I am. Is it standard practice not to allow a SN child to sit the SATS? He won't show up on their SATS results will he??
