Managed moves

[Esha12345]

My child is in year 9 she is experiencing problems in school where her behavior obviously isn’t perfect but she feels like she gets picked on and finds it hard to fit into new schools every month and me as a parent only want my child happy the school are really no help at all also she has been involved in fights which were partly her fault and partly not but most the blame was put on her she was then sent on a manage move my child is very vulnerable as she self harms and has severe mental health issues the school dont seem to be to bothered she failed her manage move and wants to go back to her own school which they wont let her any help/support i can seek?

If she had failed her managed move, surely she would have returned to her original school?

The school aren’t ‘no help’, your child appears to be aggressive and poorly behaved.

What have you done as a parent to stop this behaviour?

I arrange some of our managed moves.

What was said at the initial meeting? Usually a failed managed move means return to home school (as she would have been dual registered) and then a re-referral at the next sharing panel OR move to an alternative provision for some time. AP here is on a six weekly review basis.
Some schools take students and keep them working out of circulation after a failed move. Others put them into core subjects on a reduced timetable.

They have said they are sending her on a manage move again which I personally dont think is a good idea as she is suffering from anxiety and has very poor mental health she has self harmed just yesterday and the she wants to go to her original school who arent taking her in any help?

I’m sorry to hear that your dd is experiencing mental health issues, but school have to think about all of the pupils. As a teacher I can well imagine that there was a catalogue of poor behaviour choices and various other systems put in place before she even got to the managed move stage. This is certainly the case where I work. Managed moves are usually a last resort before permanent exclusion. Clearly your dd isn’t doing well at her home school so an alternative setting is probably better as the current behaviour issues will just continue and unfortunately school cannot allow this to continue no matter how much you want it to happen. Has your dd seen the GP for her mental health issues? This might be a good idea if she hasn’t already? Why did the first managed move fail?

Yes she has been to the doctors and shes wanting to stay at her school with another chance and willing to get it right this time she says she wants one more chance and she will behave school dont seem to really take any notice or care
