DS1 is 5 and just finishing reception. He has a had a difficult year and we have not been impressed really with how school have communicated with us. He has epilepsy, but his seizures are night time ones, which probably impacts upon his concentration/focus as he is often tired the next day.
DH went in for meeting today with school and epilepsy nurse for what we had arranged to be the nurse giving school advice on what to do if he had a seizure at school. But it just escalated into a meeting about how concerned they are about his lack of concentration and fidgetting and his clumsiness and his messy eating. It ended with school saying they'd like to have him assessed with a view to a statement WTF, where has this suddenly come from?
DH and I are both teachers and find it all a bit odd tbh. There's been no IEP or school action plan discussed with us, and now suddenly they are talking about him needing support in lessons. We are very worried about next year as it's a joint reception/Yr 1 class and I suspect that the reception children will having more teacher time and the TA more time with Year 1. His teacher didn't even go to this meeting, just the TA which I thought was unbelievable.
Sorry, rant over.
