"Off rolling" isn't this illegal?

At a new school in theory would anyone need to know they are trans. Could they not just be another emo kid. Though I know any reason for bullying happens such as emo but it removes the trans part of the bullying. They can truly settle in as James the emo.

and I say this as someone who’s all for keeping women’s bathrooms for biological women. But your Son is no threat to other boys in the boys bathroom. Otherwise wouldn’t normal condone be all keep it secret secret at school type thing.

Off rolling is illegal.

however why would you want to keep your child in a school that’s failing them miserably and doesn’t want them frankly.

You’d be failing them By keeping them somewhere like that.

Indeed I was respecting the fact that the child identifies as male and as such the parent as well is expecting the school and peers to treat him and a him and as such a he punched a she in the jaw.

No cake and eating should be allowed in such cases.

Technically the OP's child and the year seven are both female although maybe the school are thinking that you can't have it both ways. If you decide you are a boy then you are a boy when you punch a girl who is three years younger than you in the face.

Yes, off-rolling is illegal. My child's school got RI when they had an OFSTED and it was discovered that they had off rolled and the head was fired.

My oldest is year 10. 14 about to be 15.
my middle is year 7. 12 but one of the older kids so yup 14/15 assaulting a 11/12 year old.

Yes ops now year 10 son hit a biological girl year 7 girl in the jaw in retaliation to nasty words and a hit. Ops child got suspended.

I very much think we are hearing a very softly softly my child is never wrong side of this story.

Well that's a whole different factor and why school don't want them! Not sure but is that a 13 year old punching a 10 yo in face?

Ohhh ... is this the backstory then?

It sounds like the bullying must have culminated in something, surely they would be disciplining/kicking out the bullies, not the victim? Is your kid bullying others also, is it basically two groups against eachother?
If they can't get along then it's best if you look for a new setting. FE colleges are more diverse, with teens (usually 14 plus) upto adults, mostly there through choice. Your child might get on better in that type setting.

So this is the outcome from your year 10 son punching a year 7 girl in the face after she hit him first.

Sorry you and your child are going through that. There seems to be a real witch-hunt against trans people at the moment.
Are they a teenager? Whatever reports come out there will still be trans teenagers. I don’t know what to advise it must be very difficult at the moment.

Is it the same person/group bullying them?

Report it to your LA and ofsted. Off rolling is illegal, it’s basically forcing a parent to agree to take their child off the school’s roll so the school have no responsibility to fix the bullying/ support mental health/sen needs. Schools try to tell parents that they can’t support needs or do anymore but legally they have too.

Just to add- I also deal with lots of secondary schools as part of my job as a child protection social worker. Most primary schools are incredible at working with the most vulnerable. As soon as they move up to year 7 and do not have the right uniform, the wrong pens, parents who are unable/unwilling to support education these young people just get lost. Not individual teachers or pastoral staff at fault generally- senior management just run our huge high schools like a business because that is the system these days.

3!!3! c

My DC's outstanding school had OFSTED in and were straight to requires improvement when a parent reported them for 'off rolling'. However, in this case it was moving children to an alternative provision within the trust because these children, for what ever reason, were bringing down things they are measured on. Pretty standard within academy chains to send problems elsewhere if that child does not manage to fit into their 'one size fits all' business approach.

What year is your child in?
I do suggest speaking to the LEA.
Some colleges will take students from age 14. It’ll depend on what schemes are available in your area.

I have some doubts especially that school would say off roll.. double especially for a victim of bullying

Hmmm, you have written this like your child is a victim of bullying but I suspect they are in fact the bully? If this is the case, it is up to you, not the school to fix.

I don’t understand why they would remove the victim? Am I reading it wrong?
