Interhigh concerns - other parents around?

[SomewhereOutThere]

I'm very concerned about this meeting on a Thursday. There are rumours (via my friend in the Fb group, which I'm not on) that they want to switch to the first half of lessons in massive groups of 100 or more with one teacher. I have an anxious child with some educational gaps who often needs to flag early in a lesson that she doesn't understand. This seems impossible in a massive group. Also it's been really good watching her grow in confidence and start making comments in class chat, and even reading slides and contributing via microphone. This only happens because she trusts her teachers and feels supported by rest of small class.
Since I heard about IH on here I thought I'd let everyone know that this meeting on Thursday at 6.30 is really important. (The head emailed about pedagogy today and it sounded dull and unimportant, oh and it clashes with the football.) This might be our only chance to hear the changes before they affect our kids. While we can still do something to influence them, whether that's complaining or switching to a different online school.
Please make the online meeting if you can.

I'm just so glad this online schooling thing is taking off. I think it's a brilliant format for so many kids that can't access a normal school for whatever reason.
I'm happy you've decided to try MOS @saveourkids I hope your dc loves it as much as my dd

Thanks @ somewhereoutthere
I’m really hoping she enjoys the trial and all works out. I am in the process of getting an assessment for my DD, if we get her learning needs formally identified we may get the funding to pay for MOS otherwise I will have to pay for it myself which will be tough financially.

I’m glad you’ve go positive news about moving your DC to another provider, hope this is a smooth transition for you both.

Are you able to give me some details about how you got the funding, what did you have to do, who did you have to speak etc
Thanks

Thanks @branleuse
I really hope so too. Fingers crossed!

Joining the thread. DS been at Interhigh for a while. Was happy there. But disliked the trial subject with new pedagogic method. Looking to move to different online school with interactive teaching. But stuck with a full term's notice contract. Anyone found a way around it?

Have you looked at the new contracts, Beatrice? They're different, although I think they penalise you with the deposit amount rather than the notice period.

Thank you so much for this, drawnmyjohn! Will look at it then.

Thanks, TatterdemalionAspie. You are right, the new contract reduces the notice period, with a higher deposit. Good point. Signed it.

Bump

Does anyone know much about Cambridge Online Home School? I've gone off IH now.
