12+ Question
Posted: Wed Nov 05, 2014 10:02 pm
MY DS has expressed an interest in sitting the 12+ so I will register him and submit the EP Report that says he can be considered for extra time in exams due to reason X,Y and Z.
The only way to get extra time for SATS was to demonstrate that the child needs extra time to complete classwork and class assessments – because the diagnosis was so late (April 2014) – we could not fulfil that criteria & thus no extra time was granted. He still achieved high L5s.
Now he is in a Bucks US – he has yet to be assessed for any support – this is due to happen in Jan/Feb as the school has so many under achieving SEN pupils that take priority.
My question is – will the GS make its own decision on Extra Time allowances or will it seek an opinion from the US & ask them how he is being supported?
I don’t know whether to tell the GS that he doesn’t get extra time at US as he hasn’t been assessed yet or whether to keep quiet & hope they don’t communicate with US.
Yet again I feel caught between a rock and a hard place.
If anyone has any insight about how best to approach this I would be grateful.
Thanks
