Alfie Drysdale, aged four, is yet to start school and his mother Mia says she fears he is being left behind due to his special needs.
Mia Drysdale tells ITV Central's Rosie Dowsing how desperate she is for her son Alfie to start school
Westlands First School in Droitwich Spa was Mia’s first choice of schools for Alfie, and someone from the school came to visit him at nursery to get to know him and his needs. Mia says she feels helpless as a mother after having tried ‘every possible avenue’, having repeatedly called the council, headteacher and SEND coordinator.
"I’m honestly at my wits end. I feel as if he’s being discriminated against and he’s being pushed aside.” Mia says she understands that schools are under pressure, especially at the start of term, but it ‘shouldn't mean Alfie is left behind’. “They aren’t doing anything in regards to training for his feeding. They aren’t sending any work or reading home. They haven’t invited him into the school.”
