DS is exceptionally gifted at maths (suspect HFA). He’s 3.5 and working through workbooks designed for KS2 through choice. He’s also able to read some easy words and writes well. (We have done absolutely nothing to encourage this.)
I’m worried about how he is going to cope at a mainstream school, particularly as the closest schools to us are all single entry village primaries. I just don’t feel that he’ll flourish.
We can’t afford private education without help. Certainly not once DD starts school as well (2 year age gap). Should I completely give up on the idea until he’s older? I’m just worried that by then, he’ll have grown bored and his talent may have been wasted.

Is there such a thing as bursaries/scholarships in KS1?

Even very bright ones? He’s doing division, multiplication, squares etc. He’s 3!
HV has suggested that a diagnosis might not actually benefit him and getting a referral is nigh on impossible at the moment so I very much doubt he’ll have a diagnosis before starting school anyway.
