DD is at a ‘good’ secondary school and was diagnosed with SEN this school year as she has processing difficulties. Since then the school have been very punitive towards her. She has repeatedly been sent to isolation for not doing enough work and she gets targeted by the SMT for uniform checks, masks, equipment and having her coat searched. She ended up being excluded for forgetting an item which wasn’t even in the uniform policy. We’ve since found out the school have put other pupils on the SEN register and are punishing them in the same way, and forcing them to wear a different school uniform to their peers to make them more visible. This is resulting in them being alienated by the others and it’s affecting their self esteem. I couldn’t understand why the school was acting like this then a read an article about off rolling. Although it’s illegal it’s becoming more common practise with schools not wanting pupils on their register who won’t give them the top grades that make their schools look good. The pupils who are being off rolled don’t face very positive futures though. I’m actually really shocked that they can do this and get away with it, it’s destroying young peoples lives! Has anyone else experienced this?
