What to write with?

Hi,
We've discovered quite by accident today - through a close family friend who is a teacher and also left-handed - that our left-handed daughter writes much more neatly with a rollerball pen than she does with an ink pen.
Her school insists that all children use ink pens and in general, that's fine, but given that her writing is the only area where she isn't certain to get a level 5 in her KS2s - which is important both for setting at her upper shcool next year and for the possibility of taking the 12+ - should we ask the school that she be allowed to use a rollerball so her work appears neater?
Thanks.
