My ds went for a visit to the school we're thinking about moving him too. He loved it. He was allowed to choose what he did (within reason of course) and after just a few mins of sound and writen work he went and played with the trains which he did for nearly an hour and half. He was like an angel but did relax enough to demonstrate there is a side to him that is a problem, it just didn't come out fully. The teacher was lovely
. She thought he was academically very bright but socially very immature which I think is right. She gave him a hug when it came to leave because he was crying because he wanted to stay
.
When we left I asked him what he thought and he said it was a much nicer school because it wasn't noisy and they had trains. He also has since said that he never wants to go back to his old school and always wants to go to his new school. He's asked to start tomorrow! That can't happen but I won't be taking him back to the old school. Things happened there on Tuesday that means he'll never step foot back there ever again. You think you've heard bad from me before, well you've not heard what happened this week. It was horrendous and things will be said in high places.
DD in her typical foot in it style let a lot of cats out of the bag at the old school today. When asked where her brother was she truthfully told them he was going to a new school
. I had tried to tell her to lie this morning but clearly I've taught her too well and she didn't! So that should make the conversation easier tomorrow considering they already know PMSL!
Not sure when ds will start. I think its most likely to be after half term. Need to get training into the school before he starts.
