I have removed my 12 year old dd from school because of two serious incidents of bullying against her since she started at the school. She has been very distressed by it all as she suffers with anxiety and depression, she was diagnosed with PTSD two years ago after witnessing a traumatic event. Pastoral care/support has been very poor and I feel that they were blaming her mental health for her being unable to cope with the bullying!
So I am now home educating her.
I am interested in two schools for dd, one is catholic but has excellent pastoral care with full time nurse who has experience in child mental health.
The other school is several miles away, but again has good pastoral care and on site counsellor.
Both have long waiting lists and probably do not have much chance, but I have been told I can put her on waiting lists.
I am confused, am I able to appeal for a place even if she is on a long waiting list?
Really don't understand how it all works!
