School Liasing with other agencies

[starlight1234]

My DS year 2 has struggled with writing always. This year he has started at Kip Mcgrath. The teacher has tried to speak to them and they refused without my permission so I gave my permission and they are still refusing to talk to her...I have told them it is so they are all working from the same sheet but apparently head has refused...

Does this seem unreasonable to you. I am paying a lot of money to support my sons educational needs and would think they would want to work together or am I missing something?

When you say liaise what is it you want? The school to provide their assessment / levels so Kip McGarth build on that? From what I know of KM (and I may be wrong) they do their own assessment to identify their specific programme of study. Or were you meaning weekly meetings / phonecalls?

Kip McGarth isn't an agency, it's a private company. They are there to make a profit out of you, it isn't the schools responsibility to help them!

What do you want the school to do? If you wanted to share info from school to KM you could give KM a copy of the school report and vice-versa id KM write reports but I wouldn't expect the school to change their way of doing things based on what KM say.

The school has better things to do. Surely you can pass on any information you want/need to?

Kip Mcgrath has done its own assessment and is working with my son

No I don't mean weekly meetings or reports simply the two should be working together to help my DS...

I don't think it is the schools responsibility to help Kip Mcgrath but it is to help my son so he is been supported in the same direction..

I am not a teacher and don't claim to be. all I want is the best for my son

What is it that you actually want the school to do though? What does "working together" mean?

I can see you really want to support your son, but what I can't understand is what you want school to do. If KM have done their assessments they will be providing what they believe, from those, what your son needs. You state you don't expect meeting or reports, so I'm at a loss as to what you actually want.
