I am after any advice and help. My child in question is 14, gcse year starting. I removed her from the 1st high school due to serious dangerous bullying...school should have handled it better,,then into our other feeder school after a tribual as it was oversubscribed. The nightmare become a million times worse,,my daughter was physical attacked by up to 16 wild dogs (girls)outside of school hours...the police are involved and i will do my upmost to see justice done to the full.
this has now made home schooling the only way to educate, i personally and others feel that the system has failed big time, that any home schooling should be paid by the schools..as i do..but this is not the case as anyone who goes down this route will know. I have had the E.W.O. and other support and advice but i always think mums always know whats best and many have answers the education system either dont tell us or dont know!!I want to take the schools to court, as they have seriuosly failed my child. also i dont know where to start with home schooling my minds in a black cloud, yes i have a very supportive big lovely family and other children. sometimes it the outside help that we need.
heres hoping. a very worried mum

You might be better posting this in the Home ed section.
It is a sad fact that a child who changes school due to bullying is often a bigger target at the new school as there is always someone who knows someone and the new child doesn't have any backup as they don't know anyone.

Hope it works out. Have you tried the local PRU, they sometimes take pupils who have buulying issues.

Ant contact with the LEA in finding appropriate schooling for your dd? For instance my dh's school has a unit attached and some who attend are school phobic and identified as vulnerable. Or putting you in contact with other Home Ed groups?

Hi - do start a thread on the Home Education section for specific ideas about how you can make that work for your daughter. You're right though that you won't get any funding from the council for it, although you may be able to make arrangements for her to go into a school to sit exams if you want to go that way.
