Miffed about class allocation

[kingandjack]

Hi all

DC2 is starting reception in September (currently at the same school nursery) and just been diagnosed with ASD - which the school is aware about.

My DCs school seem to allocate younger siblings in the same class that their older siblings attended.

However, DC2 has been allocated a different class to her (NT) sibling.

There are many kids in DC1s class that have siblings joining reception in September and ALL have been allocated to their older siblings class.

I was going to leave it and not question the school but it’s been really bothering me.
Is my child being discriminated as a SEN child? Why hasn’t she been allocated the same class as DC1?

What’s worse is that DC1s reception teachers is the EYFS/Phase leader so it’s unlikely that DC2 has been put in the other class because she’ll be “better supported” in the other class.

Should I speak up about this or not?

TIA

My DCs school seem to allocate younger siblings in the same class that their older siblings attended.

What if the early years lead has already got 3 children will significant needs placed in her class whose siblings she taught? Adding yours to the mix might be a really poor and unfair distribution.

There are multiple reasons behind class allocation. However, one you might also consider is previous experience with the parent!😉

Drawing of straws?
