Hey everyone.
We travelled 12 miles to get our children to primary school. There is no help available with transport costs, as there is a school within your catchment area that you could use. To get help with moving aschools, you have to go through the system to deal with the bullying. That means talking to teacher, head, governors, LEA etc. all of which takes forever, isn't guaranteed to help and means your child will have to endure months of more bullying.
The LEA will then only provide/pay for transport to the next nearest school, and will not do so indefinately, only until other issues are resolved.
It's poop, but maybe you could try your local MP.
Good luck, on the upside I'm glad the surgery's gone well.I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.
Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.0 -
Gravitytolls - you are right it is poop! We have been down through the system and to be honest it made things worse. One of them got suspended for a while and when he came back he told my dd that he would do it again whenever he felt like having a week off school. Basically we have thrown in the towel. I am sure she will be happier at the new school, but I am feeling very resentful that we will have to incur debt (car loan) and fuel costs (36 miles per day). Not Fair!
doddsyWe must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
