Today I had a meeting with Chris’ Tutor to talk about how much school he will miss as a result of the surgery and what we can do to try and help him keep up with all his lessons.  Mr Smith was incredibly supportive and he will speak to each of Chris’ subject teachers to find out whether there are any important GCSE tests/CAT’s that Chris will miss – assuming he has his surgery mid November or early December (we are still waiting for a date!)

At least we will have the Christmas holidays as part of his recovery time so that will be two weeks less school time that he will miss!

I am going to meet with Mr Smith again once all of Chris’ teachers have done a plan for the work he will miss and what he can do from home to try and keep up.
