In the evening we went to the open evening at the technology college. I managed not to get soaked on the way in but it was quite difficult to see much as there were crowds & crowds of people. We went round the technology rooms which were amazing, J's face was just ecstatic. J looked very bored at the headteacher's talk & was disappointed as we didn't get to the 'sample school dinners' stall in time but we did buy him a cake & he cheered up. We then went into the special needs room & the lady in there was very helpful & said they'd do all they could to support J but we probably should get a psychologist's report as it would enable them to do more for him. We then gave up trying to cope with the crowds & went home. We've got an appointment to go on a tour on Oct 13, we should be able to see more then but what we saw on Tuesday seemed very good. He would need to pass the entrance test though, which is very hard although it is in Maths & Non-verbal reasoning both of which he is very good at. He's a lot better than me at NVR, I think our brains are wired up very differently. If he can't do one of the NVR questions I usually can't help him because I can't understand it.
