DD being relentlessly bullied. Don't know what to do!

[Beebityboo]

I removed year 8 DD from school to home educate her last October after having done so previously when she was in year 6, where she was horribly bullied. She was struggling with her mental health and I was shielding and it seemed like the right thing to do. She returned a few weeks ago and is being really badly bullied again.Things are being thrown at her, she is being called names etc. Nothing I do seems to work and though the school have always been supportive over the phone the behaviour is continuing and escalating. She's just called me sobbing from the bathroom begging me to make it stop. She's with her head of year now. This is the second high school she has been at after having to move her in year 7, also for bullying. She has aspergers and seems to always be a target despite always getting on with her work and being good. She doesn't have a single friend . What do I do? I feel that if I remove her again she'll never go back, and whilst home school was an OK measure for a while, I have no idea how to get her through GCSE's. I'm devastated for her.

"My dd is autism and at an all girls grammar. She has suffered dreadful mental health problems. They aren’t full of bright qwerky girls. They’re full of bright girls who put themselves under pressure for not being perfect and if you are different it can be a big added pressure."

I agree with this entirely. As someone with a few rays on the spectrum myself, my few 'proper' friends at school from the age of about 12 were mostly male. A girls' school and girl bullying opportunities would have been the last straw.
