Talking to School About Concerns
You need to approach school about your child's needs but aren't sure how
Steps
- Request a meeting with the class teacher and/or the school's learning support coordinator
- Share your observations and concerns factually. Avoid labels until assessed
- Ask what the school has observed and what support is already in place
- Request that the school documents observations to support any referral
- Discuss reasonable adjustments that could help now (seating, break cards, extra time)
What you need
Your observation notes, an open conversation mindset, patience
Why it works
Schools see your child for 6 hours a day in a demanding environment. They hold crucial data about how your child functions in a social and academic setting. Building a collaborative relationship with school makes the assessment process smoother and ensures support starts sooner.
Age guidance
Relevant from nursery age onwards. The earlier you establish communication with school, the better the partnership.
Real-world example
One parent was terrified of seeming 'difficult' by raising concerns. When they finally requested a meeting, the teacher said 'I'm so glad you brought this up — I've been noticing the same things.' Most teachers welcome proactive parents.
Troubleshooting
- If school dismisses your concerns, put them in writing and ask for a written response
- You have the right to request an assessment. Schools should support this
- If needed, seek advice from your local parent advocacy or special education advice service
