English Schools question help please England 8 year old boy?

  • England 8 year old boy My grandson who is naughty at school and at home has been restricted to 1hour and 20 minutes school each day, 08:55 to 10:20. Does any one know if the school can do this without offering an alternative to meet his educational needs and or what are her options? I know he is bad and understand the schools stance, she tried to get him statemented and the school said there was no need about a year ago. What if any rights has she any help please. England

  • Answer:

    It sounds as if you need to get an assessment to ascertain the nature of his needs/difficulties. The school can make a referral for this. They should be able to provide him with support through the Schools Action Plus which is about supporting pupils who present with special needs but do not have a statement. The schools SENCO (special educational needs coordinator) should be able to support and advise you. Do you know what his behaviour is triggered by, has he always been a difficult child to manage, does he get worse after eating or drinking certain items, are there any other problems with his development or attention? Hope you find out soon. Good lick.

depends on the local authoity, some have a specialist school for such children, and he can do his limited mainstream hours. The school has a right to exclude him.

Your daughter needs to ask for a meeting with the school and the education dept. They have a duty of care and this includes giving him an education whether it is in school a specialist unit or home schooling.

Your grandsons parents need to go into the school and discuss this with them. It is unusual for an 8 year old to be restricted to such a short time in school. They should be looking to get him back into school with strategies in place for if he does misbehave or looking at alternative placements for him or even sending work home for him to do. Perhaps if his behaviour is so bad his parents should request a common assessment. The common assessment looks at all aspects of his behaviour and education both in and out of school. All his parents have to do is go into school and request a common assessment. It will decide whether he needs a statement or should be on an IEP (individual education plan) and at what level. It will also determine if he needs any extra involvement from the educational psychologist or other therapists. Your grandson does have a right to an education but it is finding what works best for him.

What about the rights of the other children in class, to be able to learn without disruption?
