Hi. My son is 18 and taking A levels in Yr 13. He has ADHD. During his first paper he was expecting to have rest breaks but he was told his name was not on the list. He used a toilet break to rest a bit but obviously he didn’t get that time back and it was a shock to not receive them, when he was banking on them. He had to take his meds to get through it at all and he says without that, he would have been totally lost. He suffered also because there was a needless conversation due to the lack of rest breaks and his confusion at this, which wasted yet more precious time.
I emailed college immediately after and they maintained they had no evidence on file of his recommended rest breaks and official diagnosis. I trawled my emails and found I had sent all evidence to them, including his diagnosis and prescription and recommendations including rest breaks etc over to them two years ago, when he joined. Is there anything I can do? School have gone silent since receiving the proof from me, after initially maintaining their stance. They have said they will implement rest breaks from now on. But it’s too late for paper one.
What do you suggest? Do we have grounds to appeal or resit?
