The primary school my son attends have a variety of afterschool clubs, however my son has learning difficulties and the cancellation policy they operated does not work for my son. If a club has been cancelled a letter is given to the child and the child is told verbally, and a notice is put up in a window at the side of the school. My son does not remember messages and or to bring home notes, I work so a childminder drops him off who has not need to go to the particular window the notice is displayed in - not all of these three methods are always followed by the school particularly if it is short notice. I have complained and asked for a better system as this one relies too heavily on the children (some as young as 5) but I have been told that the school do not share the responsiblity if parents cannot find out for themselves if club is cancelled.
I no longer send my son because he has been left waiting for clubs that are not on or missed clubs that he thinks are cancelled - this seems a bit unfair to me though as he enjoys going but I have no confidence in this cancellation system.
Have I got a right to request the school changes this?
