My daughter is now in year 8 in a state run secondary school in Enfield, and has anxiety rooted headaches,stomach aches etc about going to school. Her attendance, despite our parental encouragement, meeting with school etc. is a shocking 54% since September this year, and we have had a legal caution from South Eastern Attendance Advisory Service (SEAAS) - you never think it could happen with your own child. Her attendance last year was average 95%. I am pulling my hair out this term, trying to find a solution, even starting to contemplate whether I should consider homeschooling. Any advice/similar experience would be much appreciated. I desparately want to help my daughter. Many thanks !
