Move up a school year in secondary

Not should you but legally can you request to move a child UP a school year in secondary school?

I have asked admissions at the LA but the reply email says they are very busy and it may take some time to reply etc etc.

I realise that it would mean the child MUST be in education for the year after they leave secondary school as they would still be 15.

Thanks.

So I wouldn’t bother chasing the LEA for a response. They will get back to you and it will be a no

No you can’t in the state school system OP

In England they need to be in education or training until 18. Schools may be reluctant, state very unlikely to do so.
