Has anyone withheld an ADHD assessment from a school?

[Forestschool1]

We had an assessment carried out just as DC left primary school and it concluded there was mild ADHD. Our school at the time didn't think it was necessary to assess but we felt there were problems with concentrating, so we had the assessment but didn't give it to primary school because we had about a term left and didn't think it necessary.

We also did not submit the assessment to our new secondary school (an independent school).

We now want to submit the assessment to school because we see symptoms and it's causing problems in class, but worried they'll ask DC to leave, which I'm sure they'd be within their rights to do.

Has anyone had experience of a similar situation either as a parent or teacher?

I am pretty sure you would have signed a document saying that you had given the school all the information.

Having ADHD is not an issue but prob lying to them might be.

My suggestion would be to seek a new ADHD assessment - but don't mention you already had one as they would need to include this in their report to the school.

By the way you don't get mild ADHD. The concentrating part you are talking about could also be short-term memory issues.
