Frodo - New School?

We had a meeting at Frodo's school yesterday to help determine whether or not Frodo will be going to a new school.

It looks like he might be attending a school that has a Language Unit, but that can also address any social and behavioural problems.

We think that at this stage he needs the intensive help that such a school can provide.

As always the schools with specialised resource units are located in the scummiest areas in the city, because that's how they can get the funding - although the kids attending the units can come from anywhere else in the city.

If we live far enough away from the school then the council will provide daily transport for him - probably a taxi.

It's taken us three months to get the finalised report from his last assessment sorted out i.e. so that it's accurate.

We're still left a bit in the air, since the final decision as to whether this is right for him lies with someone who is in charge of special needs admissions.

If the decision is "No" then he'll stay at his current school and have a further assessment at a later date.

Hopefully we'll find out soon.

Thanks. We've heard that they should be making a decision at a meeting next Tuesday.
