I also have Dyslexia and Asd and was dumped in classes full of kids not wanting to learn or couldn't learn. Some teachers could not control the class.
When I was there, they put me on Foundation tier for almost everything even though I achieved A*s in previous exams. Meaning the highest grade you could get was a C and only a D in Maths. They messed up my education all due to ignorance and the assumption that I was unable to learn because I was different. In the year 2007 I was bullied in sixth form again. Teachers did not turn up to my classes and hence had no work to do.
Things only improved when I left to study A levels at Leicester College. I got straight A's , did a foundation Degree and went to a good University where I achieved a first. I don't think I would have been able to achieve that if I stayed another year at Countesthorpe.
If you want you're child to go to a big youth club,this is the school for you...Safeguardings are non existence,bullying policy not in place its a free for all...
Heard more stories from parents who have pulled there children out,with inappropriate language,high bullying,teachers seem to hide the fact that any bullying is happening,nothing in place for children with any special arrangements and so on..
It smells
