Apologies if my post seemed misleading/ sensationalist. What you have said in your post is pretty much exactly what the woman I spoke to told me. If there were less hoops and constraints for my daughter and I to jump through, of course I would have asked for extra time, breaks and a one on one exam for my daughter.Sort of true. But also not true..
This is (part of) my job.
The process is exactly the same for State and Private schools. The oversight is exactly the same too
But, of course, private school pupils are at an advantage because of the resources their parents have (private diagnoses, the social capital and 'know how' to navigate the system etc ) and their schools have (specialist staff, dedicated time and space etc.)
It is becoming (much) harder to get additional time for exams because of this .
