So why is Joshua changing schools? Is there something wrong with his current school, Tetherdown? Actually no there's nothing wrong with Tetherdown and up until a week before Christmas we had no inkling whatsoever that he might be changing schools! But then I noticed a poster advertising Limespring as a school for teaching children with learning differences and there's no doubt that Joshua is different what with his dyslexia and all. So I got in contact with the school only to discover that the lady who's created the school, Denise Drinkwater, used to tutor Joshua in maths. Small world.
Limespring School - ready for action! |
Tomorrow then Joshua enters a whole new world with a whole new routine. Given that the school barely exists and has more staff than pupils it'll be interesting to see how he responds to what should be a much calmer and more relaxed environment. For sure with the opportunity for Joshua to enjoy a teacher pupil ratio of 1:3 rather than 1:30 we could hardly refuse the opportunity! Even so we definitely feel under pressure to try and make the right decision (whatever that it is) because so much depends on us being right.
Wish us luck!
