About the sodding 48 hour rule?

[BloodyHilariousThatIs]

Dd is 15 and hates school. She really thinks that it’s a cheek that she’s forced to go, and does everything in her power to get out of going.
She was caught skiving off by the police, who had a stern talking to her but she still try’s at least 3 times a week to get out of going.

Seen the school counsellor, had tons of meetings with the well-being officers and welfare officers - there are no bullying or other issues other than she just hates it.

She’s cottoned in to the 48 hour rule for sickness, and for the past few weeks I’ve had a phone all from the sick bay saying she’s said been sick and I have to collect her and keep her off for 48 hours.

I know she’s probably not been sick. The school know she’s probably not been sick, but because of this policy she’s getting away with it, and she had 8 days off this last month. Luckily authorised absence but that’s not the point.

Has anyone got any suggestions of how best to handle this? Any way I can challenge the school when they ring? I’m at the end of my tether and don’t know where to turn.

My now 14yr old was very similar and although she isn't sick or pretends to be she feels sick alot. She school refused to the point I had to push her out of the door crying. I would watch her walking slowly down the street then refusing to walk. Ended up taking her and now deliver her to staff. She has good and bad days.
Is there any 14 plus apprenticeship academies or colleges near you that would accept her? There's some near me but not practical enough to get her there.
