ADVICE NEEDED - ENROLLING A CHILD IN SCHOOL

Posted By:  donna @ May 7 2012, 01:57 PM
Hi, i am new here and am hoping that someone can please help me.

my husband and I are planning on moving to Majorca probably next year but hopefully be the end of this year. We have a son who is 8 year old with special educational needs. We are looking to place him in a state school and i am finding it hard to find information on enrolling him. I know that we need to attend at the local town hall with various documents to enrol him but i cant find the answer to my specific questions

1. Do we attend there when we move to the country or do we need to do it before?
2. I understand my son will need a medical certificate to enrol. Who do we contact to get this?
3. What happens if your child does not have all their immunisations? will they refuse him a place at a state school? i ask this as my ds has a medical condition (no serious health problems) but due to a slightly low immune system after discussing with his immunologist we decided not to give him the MMR vaccination. (its best for him not to have live vaccinations given possible bad effects which wont be known until he has it!). he has had all his other vaccinations.
4.Would it be advisable to get a report from each of his consultants here in England to assist?

If you cannot answer these can you point me in the right direction, preferably an email address of someone i can contact in Majorca about these.


thank you

Donna

Lovely weather today

Posted By:  Balearic Pedro @ Apr 29 2012, 03:10 PM
well dunno what its like where everyone else is ? but today on the paradise island its a lovely sunny day .. read the papers and poor blighty is getting storms and rain but here its nice t shirt weather .

just watching the poseiden adventure while the maid makes the lovely bit of roast pork for dinner. oh its such a hard life i often wonder how i make it through the week .. coffeenews5.gif

Mind you is it just me or do the weeks fly be so quick now ? it only seems like days since last week ? or is that old age creeping in and i am forgetting days ?

Wonder what the weather is like on the mainland of Spain ? and i also wonder if they get such good quality pork as we do here its so tender and juicy , miles better than the dry old pork we used to get in the UK ..

Just figured i would add my thoughts for the day ,seeings as at last i am back on top of all the work stuff. well nearly, not quite, but easing of a tad lg.gif

Is anybody out there ????

Posted By:  Abyss_Rover @ Apr 22 2012, 03:07 PM
Hello to everyone,

Being new to this forum I would like to take this chance to say hello.

It appears that people have not been posting much recently and I was wondering why. Have they moved off the island? Do they chat somewhere else?

It seems a shame that there are few people talking about Mallorca. There are many sites that cover Spain but I haven't found one dedicated to Mallorca. I guess this is why there are not as many posts, as the Spain forums but surely this means that the content is not necessarily about Mallorca?

Anyway, I hope to see some posts on life and experiences, here in Mallorca.

All the best.

Peter

Apologies for absence but i am doing my bit for British Mallorcan relations

Posted By:  Balearic Pedro @ Mar 8 2012, 12:27 AM
I am in the middle of a new venture so have been neglecting the forum a tad sorry about that , but its for a good reason ,
There i was minding my own business watching TV and fed up with the laptop and the wires always hanging around the living room , 2 laptops 2 trays 4 wires and what do you do with them ? stick them on your lap and get trapped and then find a clear space on the coffee table to stick them when you want to pop to the loo etc..

So i figured blow this its 2012 whats all this beanbag and a bit of wood being the best that we have to solve the problem . Must be something better so i searched and there all similar same things , mini laptop tables beanbags with lights on, a trolley with wheels that hangs around like a engine lifting hoist.. so in short wasnt what i wanted..

Few days later i was watching Television but not watching it if you know what i mean ? waitting for a film to start so wasn`t really interested in the program, so got my pen and pad out and started doodling what i need to make to solve this untidy old fashioned way of eating and laptop using in comfort etc.. Well it all started to come together what the world needs and then i got on a roll and remembered back to wanting to get a slim TV stand ages back, no luck so ended up with the hang it on the wall idea , fine except for the stupid wires and the having to have a desk under for the dvd etc. so not brilliant..

Long story now shortened after 2 months of prototyping and fine tuning and patenting design protecting etc, the thing is just about ready to rock the world .

So the El Milagro is born * remember that name it will be famous .. lol_5.gif ..

The El Milagro is designed to slide under settees , beds , furniture and as a side table , when the need arrives you simply slide the table out for use and position to the exact position you require on your lap , without it resting on you.. should nature call or the phone ring , simply slide the table with your PC monitor or food or laptop or even your Games steering wheel on and simply put to its side table position , with NO messy wires and clutter.. Its 3 step patent design and operation enables the unit to operate under 8mm height beds , settees , couches and only the slider and adjustable table tray remains visible , making for a tidy and more pleasant household..





Check out the products many uses its seriously a real "El Milagro" Spanish for Miracle by the way lol_5.gif

lap trays Uk laptop tables end of bed tables game steering wheel stands bed lap trays PC station PC to laptop conversion and more
loads of options well have a look yourselves .. Lap Trays tables


Now what i am seeking is solvent clever business people to License the product from me and lets sell this baby to every corner of the world ... Going to be offering like a franchise set up . and every Country will have websites to suit , to ensure global brand name presence ,full back up promotions , manufacturing rights can be given or a simple we supply the product and the licensed dealer has exclusive sales rights to mail order sell them , and with me and Pete on the case website wise they can be assured to be top of the crop . Anyone interested email to the website contacts at lap trays laptop tables website
