Hi all,
For context in year 11 right before my GCSEs I ended up in hospital due to mental health issues (due to trying to delete), my school gave zero support in this but luckily I still managed to get decent GCSEs. My secondary school sent a handover explaing what happened to my college
In year 12 as a result of this and to prevent such incident occuring again in the future due to my mental health, I decided to reach out tp SENDCO teacher for a small room access arrangment however I felt as though he was very unaccomodating, unsupportive and he told me in the real world / uni I won't get a small room so I should get used to doing exams in a sports hall. I told him what happened during GCSEs, one thing I said in particularly was that I said I started antidepressants AFTER gcse bcs I didn't want to suffer side effects / anything unexpected during exam season but he brushed it off, saying that 'So you chose to ignore the doctor's advice during GCSEs' which was honestly shocking, going on antidepressants isn't an easy decision and I felt like he didn't take me seriously, delaying treatment isn't 'ignoring' a doctor
Anways fast foward after much struggle I did manage to get a small room thanks to my form tutor who advocated for me, but now this form tutor has gone on maternity leavr recently. I'm in year 13, my mocks are next week and my real exams are fast approaching but this accomodation has been randomly removed. I sent my new form tutor this text message:
Hi ____ apologies for texting you on the weekend, for all my exams I’ve had a small room accommodation due to my history of mental health, however I just checked my KA3 timetable & saw that this accommodation has been randomly removed, I was just wondering if there’s anything that can be done about this in time for KA3
I'm just really worried as previously in year 12 when I sought out exam arrangements for my mental health, the sendco teacher wasn't very accomodating and I felt like he didn't take me seriously (although I finally got it at the end after much struggle ) so I'm afraid the same thing will happen to me again
Do you think this text message was ok, honestly I don't know why my sendco teacher treats me like a liar, I don't even want to speak to him in first person anymore bcs last time I did I ended up breaking down bcs I felt like I was getting zero suppory and being treated like a fraud
