My second child is due to start primary school in September, however the school has just informed us that she will only be attending mornings for the first month. (Her elder sister started at the same school after just three half days.)
The claimed reasoning for the change of policy is that this will ease her into school life. However, it's just going to disrupt her more because she's coming out of full-time nursery.
I can't take a month off work to look after her for the afternoons, so I'll have to find a new/different/upsetting child care option.
I thought the local education authority had to provide full time schooling? What can I do? Ideas please.
