Hi all I need some advice my daughter started a sen school she moved from a mainstream she hasn’t been in this new school for 5 mins and her behaviour is just the same as when she was in mainstream I was pulled to the side today by her class teacher from the sen school saying her behaviour is so bad from pulling hair to slapping pupils this is why she has been moved to a sen school but seems they can’t cope with her too she had a diagnosis of a rare chromosome condition I thought they were meant to help them in these schools but all i have in my ears is we are concerned I really don’t know what to do because at home she’s so different to what they describe I was excited for her to start a sen for them to help her with her behaviour difficulties but seems it’s just the same as when she was in mainstream

Try not to panic. It is very early days. It is a big change for DD. DD is still getting to know the school and the school getting to know her. It is far too soon to be concluding the school can’t meet DD’s needs. What support is in place? What have they tried?

They haven't tried anything yet but the whole point of her moving from mainstream to sen school was because of the lack of support and her behaviour because of the lack of support in place at school I feel I'm going around in circles

Yes, you can move mid term. Does DS have an EHCP?

Yes she does she recently moved to a sen school they said it will take time but it's the way they approached me and to tell me like well this is happening etc like they should have already known that for them to accept her and stuff I just don't get it

Apologies, my previous reply was meant for anther thread. Sorry!

It is still early days. Communicating with you is a positive. Request a meeting with the school. What support is in F? That has to be provided. Or is it all vague and woolly?

It's early days but hopefully things start to settle down
