I hope it's OK to post here to ask for advice/experiences as I have a meeting with my son's school tomorrow regarding bullying/ lesson refusing.
My son is Y10 and has been bullied for quite a while which resulted in him refusing to attend lessons/be in the corridors/meal areas. To get him back into school they've allowed him to go in the inclusion room but have said that it's only temporary.
All the time he's been in there (about 5 weeks) they've kept asking him to go back to lessons which he's adamant that he won't as he says he doesn't feel safe. He was injured in Y7 (one month after starting there) deliberately by another student which resulted in him missing school due to pain in his back which affected his mobility. School were pretty rubbish at the time and, although they allowed him in the inclusion room, put a lot of pressure of him to go to lessons even though he could only walk short distances due to pain. After seeing many doctors etc he was admitted to hospital for treatment and has had no problems since.
I'm seriously considering homeschooling but would prefer him to stay on the school roll so he can take his gcse's next year at school. Y11 would just be revision so presumably he could do that in the inclusion room but I don't think they will allow it.
I am hoping that someone may have some experience of their child attending school but not in main lessons.
I should also add that school think he may be on the spectrum and have referred him to cahms.
Thanks
