My 11 year old son has been the target for a group of bullies since February at school, he is in mainstream and was doing great until the problems started, He has Asperger's, Sensory problems, Dyslexia, co ordination difficulties. Having been attacked many time now he has realised he isnt allowed to defend himself as he is punished, for months he has had little education due to either being bullied, being moved away from bullies or punishments at school, things are not good school wise but i keep building him up and returning to school. My son was happy and doing well until it all started, He wants to stay at the same school but not be bullied or constantly either awaitting punishments or spending time in include or detention. Knowing how mainstream schools are trying to get rid of children on the spectrum and how much my son wants to stay at the school. would it be wrong to request he retakes the year if they could put the right support in for him. or am i best looking now to move him schools? the school he has is the only 1 we could choose in the whole area that fitted his needs. He is bright in many subjects apart from english, he has missed all the art classes, history classes and DT classes due to the problems this year.
