Ds hates school...any advice?

[Shellywelly1973]

Ds5 initially enjoyed school but as the year went on he disliked school more & more.

He says the work is too hard. He didn't do very well in Reception class. His writing & reading levels are very low.

He's misbehaving in class to get out of doing work. The school have tried positive reinforcment, reward charts,removing playtimes & have used staff as extra support but it feels like nothing works.

Its just 3 days into the new year went & he's struggling already. He's been referred to camhs, who are involving an E.P. He's had a CAF done which will probably lead to being assessed at the CDC. I have a ds with ASD & ADHD, i don't think ds has either but i do suspect learning difficulties. Ds is very long sighted & wears glasses.

What else can i do? Im feeling desperate for ds & even considered withdrawing him from school as he's so unhappy.

Any advice appreciated.

TIA.

Bump...!!

Ds hated school in year R, wasn't too keen for most of year 1, but towards the end he struck up a couple of friendships and he was even quite keen to go back into year 2 this week. I think the keeness is wearing off already, but he's not hating it like he did a year ago.

No advice from me but we are in the same position with DS. He disliked YrR and absolutely hates Yr1.

He does have SN but the school have done nothing to help him even though he is very behind and didnt get a single expected level on his EYFS profile. They have said his results were fabulous

We have applied to another school but now that Academys are in charge of their own in year admissions we know they wont want him because of his needs so we are stuck with a very unhappy little boy.

We are giving it until Xmas and then will remove him and Home educate which will be a disaster as i'm not remotely academic.

I'll offer you a hand to hold because i know how shit it is
