My dd is going into year 10. She plateaued in year 9 when her mental health got worse and all her grades went down. She is very gifted but couldn't cope with the pressure and is on a camhs waiting list for therapy for anxiety and depression. Her school can't see the link between her poor mental health and her bad grades and are also refusing to let her see their counsellor as they don't know how to help her. dd was also moved to the middle set as her teachers told us that her mental health can't be the reason her grades are going down (bearing in mind my dd has been on the gifted and talented list for years and got 100% in her 11+ (clearly brighter than me and my husband haha)). Her school isn't supporting us and has been known to make her resit tests when she got an A. I don't know what to do with her because she can't cope at this school but I don't know how to move her during her gcse courses (she started them in year 9).
