I am a parent with a child attending an academy in Fulham and Kensington.
I have been trying to ascertain since June the exam results and sets for my son since June and also request he be removed from a certain group at school which has made him very unhappy. I was assured by the assistant head that it would be looked into. He is Year 10 so it is a tricky situation.
I wrote 4 emails over summer, one of which was answered the rest ignored.
My son goes back to school to find he has been put in with the same group after I was assured he wouldnt be.
I write to the school, no answer. I call the assistant head who tells me that they didn't have time to look into it.
In a fury, I apply to council for new places for my child. I write to the head saying my son is leaving and outlining the reasons why, to which his answer in effect was 'bye and good luck in your new school'.
I am so utterly shocked at how they have handled it, stonewalling my emails and not trying to resolve it.
Now my son has not been at school for two weeks. I have rang the education officer who is aware of what is happening and I am home schooling until a new school place comes up.
Trouble is, my son now tells me he wants to go back to his school. I feel guilty for having jumped the gun and taken him out without trying again but the school were offering me no alternative.
My question is, does he still have a school place there and if he wants to go back can they stop him?
Many thanks
