After banging my head against a brick wall with schools, LEA and not even parent partnership could help them resolve issues.School were having no luck not enough resources, lea carnt statement as not enough info from school. My/parent partnership request for specific info was stonewalled. Meanwhile school were trying to move my son to a short stay unit for help and the hospital wouldnt sign off on it as they reconed that school should have been doing their job not try to palm him off to somewhere else.AHHH!! I researched home education as my 9 year old son became so distaught and down about school that he started saying rather distressing things about himself. Enough was enough i am awaiting an appointment for camhs which will be here shortly as they think he may have aspergers. He has become so overly sensitive in many areas that even the occupational therapist was surprised what a major impact school has had on him.
The good news is that first thing on monday i dropped in a de-registartion letter to the school. I then started the process of de-schooling and asked my son what he would like to learn. He had some re-markable ideas and was happy for most of the day doing differnet tasks. I fit in the sensory excersies, physio exercises, eye tracking exercises etc. He was happy with no health issues or negative comments and was totally relaxed.The LEA phoned today saying they had recieved request for de-registration and would send me out a policy/welcome pack for home educators.Surprising enough its the first time i havent had to battle in the last year or so.Hope this shows that all hope is not lost!
