If it's causing him to worry, which in turn is likely to turn to other problems and if he does (even occasionally) need to go more often then maybe talk to his teacher and/or school matron and explain the anxieties, ask if he could have a separate toilet pass that he can use if he really needs to go. Half the battle will be the panic that can set in when you know you can't go to the toilet and the more you think about it, you end up wanting to go when you don't really need to. Whereas if you have a toilet pass so you know you can go later if needs be (whether once or twice) chances are that you won't worry and that won't create the need to go unnecessarily.



When you talk to the teacher/matron at least initially don't go in with a 'complain' head on, go in and say that ds has a problem that you'd like their help finding a solution to, that you're sure they will able to figure something out, for example a toilet pass, or letting him know that they won't be keeping count on him for the next half term to see how it goes or whatever... and then the ball is in their court.



Not sure if your school has a matron or not - the primary schools the dc have been to (good sized town, large junior school) have had them, whereas dsis lives in a village with a smaller school that doesn't. But if they do, they can be very useful allies in helping to sort this out.
