Hi everyone,
Thanks so much for all your input and here is an update. My DH and I went to meet with the Head again today to see what had been decided. They had decided that a single grade skip would be futile and they would need to skip at least two, something they weren't keen to do and as you all know I was uneasy about it.
Well they have come up with the most fantastic timetable! DS is with age peers for Art, PE, Games, Music etc, but is having a different Maths, English and Science lesson (one-to-one)and they are also letting him have a lesson in another language. DH and I are so happy we can't believe it. The head said that DS is seen as a special needs kid - yay someone who gets it! They haven't ruled out skipping grades in the future, they just want to give this a try first. The teachers involved in the one-to-one are very keen and "want to help" DS so it is all looking very promising.
At the moment I feel like the weight of the world has been taken off my shoulders. I am so hopeful that this will work out and with such strong support from the head I don't see how this can fail!
Thanks to all of you for your encouragement and advice - we couldn't have done it alone. I love this forum ...
