DD has additional needs and is classed as 'vulnerable' according to her own Senco and safeguarding.
We have an arrangement with the above as a result that she isn't to stay after school but is to be kept at lunch. All staff know this. It's a small school. Many don't take notice.

One of the reasons is that she already doesn't get home until 6pm as it's two buses and they finish later than normal schools and it's two buses (we live in a village) so if she misses her connecting bus she has to wait 50 minutes at a stop in the dark.
She also has toileting issues.
The other reason is she has been let go early daily as she has been being bullied.

She has completed a large chunk of a huge booklet (bare in mind she has a reader in exams and struggles greatly academically) but teacher has stated the pages she has done is not enough.

Just had a phone call that she is to have after school detention because she hasn't done enough.
WIBU to tell them no? Senco isn't in so there was confusion.
I will make her do the work of course!

I appreciate it's a pain but an online homework diary or something I can check would be amazing. She's no clue half the time.

Many schools have that system for all kids. It’s a great help to many. Those who got home and can’t read their writing. Those who write the task or date it is due down wrong. Those who lose diaries. Worth suggesting.

YANBU. I don’t think the school have any remote grasp of her needs whatsoever. I would be inclined to firstly complain to the head, if they don’t resolve the matter then try and move to a more efficient school. This one sounds as though it’s failing her.

No no detention at all either lunch or after school because they are actually punishing her for her disability.
Also does she have an EHCP? If not apply for one yourself as it looks like she is not coping there and that will take care of the transport issue as they should provide transport to her nearest suitable school.
