To tell you that my child who was a school refuser ….

[lifeturnsonadime]

Got 3 A s in his A Levels is off to study at UCL !!!

He was written off by everyone when he couldn’t attend and didn’t go to school at all from the middle of year 7 till 6th form!!!!

I am beyond proud 😊

That's brilliant. Well done all. Was there a particular factor that helped him get back?

Wooo! That's amazing!

Absolutely amazing! Well done to him 😊

Very well done to your DS!!

Congratulations, great achievement for you all. I had a school refuser too so understand how difficult it can be.

Time, lots of love and believing him when he said he couldn’t,

I also think Covid was a leveller as the fact that all of his cohort had to experience home education made it easier.

he’s bloody brilliant though!

Well done

Well done to your DS, and to you!

Well done to your son, and to you , I’m sure you supported him to get here. It’s incredible news and gives hope to those of us who are currently in the middle of this (DS is going into his final year and I’m on tenterhooks as to whether he will return or not ).

Well done to him 🌟

A good reminder that school is not a place for everyone and many young people become the proverbial square peg in a round hole. Also that you can learn and succes without school. School is just one option.

I’m an unschooling parent so whilst I won’t be pushing A levels I will facilitate if necessary. Well down to you too mum 🌟

Congratulations to your DS, very well done to him! May I ask how he accessed education while not attending? My 13yo has been out of school for most of this year due to autistic burnout and we don’t expect a miraculous return in September so we’re looking at how best to educate until they feel able to go back. Stories like your DS give us hope!

Well done! Lovely news

Congratulations and a huge well done to your son! Also to you for keeping the faith in him and providing the support. It’s so important as I know from experience. There was a thread recently asking for positive stories for those who have spent time out of school. I hope the person sees this.

Well done to your son and also to you! That must’ve been very difficult to navigate. Wishing him all the best at uni.

Amazing - what an achievement!! Best of luck to him 😀

Congratulations! You must be so proud.

Fantastic news
