14 y/o daughter school refusal

Hi, I’m in a bit of a problem My daughter is 14 and in year 10 at school (an important year, at that), and is currently pretty much flat out refusing to go to school. She struggles with anxiety and with a sensory disorder, and I understand that while the school try to help, they can’t really do a huge amount for her. Last time I checked her attendance was under 60%, and it’s a miracle that I haven’t been confronted by anyone higher up about this (I have lots of meetings at school, but haven’t been given legal action.). When I ask her what would help, her only answers are not going to school and being homeschooled. I work a full time job and am a single parent, so I don’t see how homeschool could even be considered. Help?
