And the B***a*ds strike again :(

I dont know how much more of this I can bloody take.

And so ds been learning about mining and has developed a big interest in it. I take books to school, research with ds about his ancestors on the net who were miners, where they mined and which mining community they lived in and printed it off so he had a deeper involvment and help him fit in. DS loves rocks and digging at the best of times.

Letter April school trip to mines, going to get a chance to go underground, smash a few rocks for tin and a workshop. DS is so excited about it.

Yesterday he walks in and gives in the form and pays the money with me. This morning he was telling me all about it and giving me a run down in the car about what packed lunch he wanted to take etc and we cant be late mum he says.

They decided TODAY that they wont take him. They left it until 3.15 today to tell my boy that he cant go on his school trip. He walked out so sad refusing to cry. He cant understand why said he doesnt have a reason and all his friends are going.

I want to fucking kill the woman.

Plus its an Academy now and I cannot find their funding agreement anywhere. Was hopefull of that link on last nights talk with kids but its not there. They became one sept 11 so I am assuming they are under 2010 act.

There was an item on David Wolfe blog 'can or worms' about academies a few weeks ago when he said the DofE had changed their website and 'lost' the page with all the funding agreements on it and no-one could find them! So maybe thats why.

Contact a Family won the tender for SEN advice from the Govt here. Not sure how are they are on SEN advice - it seemed a bit odd they got the contract and not IPSEA / ACE etc but maybe worth a try
